A brawl that broke out between shoppers at Edison Mall in Fort Myers, Fla., was caught on video, Sunday afternoon.
The video, which was originally posted to Facebook by someone who claimed to be a witness, shows a group of people ganging up on a woman wearing a pink top and green shorts.
The victim is seen trying to cover her head while falling to the floor as she’s repeatedly punched and kicked.

One of the attackers in the video, who appears to be wearing a beret, is seen leaving the scene and returning shortly after pushing a toddler in a stroller.
That’s when the beret-wearing suspect, who is still pushing the stroller with the toddler in it, sidekicks the woman in the face.
Global News reached out to the Fort Myers police department and was told by public information officer Mitchell Haley that the fight was under investigation.
“Since this is an open case, there’s not much we can discuss,” said Haley to Global News in a telephone interview.

According to Haley, there’s no information about the woman who was with toddler during the fight.
“We’re not willing to comment further,” said Haley.
Haley sent Global News a press release regarding the fight, which reads in part:
“…at approximately 4:30 p.m. officers of the Fort Myers Police Department received a call regarding a disturbance of the peace…in front of Victoria’s Secret. Upon arrival the incident had already dissipated and police did not find a confrontation going on. Approximately two hours later police were called back to the mall in reference to apparent injuries that occurred previously and spoke to complainants. Officers interviewed the alleged victims and filed a report of simple battery and collected evidence.”
No arrests have been made.
