A video which caught a Taco Bell security guard slapping a woman in a seemingly unprovoked attack has gone viral and left social media users in disbelief.
In the video, a woman walks past the security guard, who seemed to be arguing with her on Sunday at the Los Angeles franchise as she went on to place her order.
However, the security guard did not halt and followed her, grabbed her arm and began to make exchanges with the woman.

He then slapped the woman across her face, leaving her and other spectators in shock.
‘Oh s***,’ someone could be heard saying in the background.
‘The security guard was telling her to leave and she didn’t want to because she was ordering food,’ Alejandro Sanchez, who recorded the viral video, explained to SWNS.
‘Then he just went off and she started going crazy,’ he said.
‘He slapped the s*** out of her. It was crazy. Everybody was shocked.’

Social media users have reacted to the video, and many have suggested the woman should file a lawsuit against the firm and security guard for the unforeseen slap.
“Get that money sis”, one user stated on X. “He slapped her like they know each other personally”, another said.
A third wrote: “Damn, someone’s out of a job and someone’s getting the bag.”
The woman, who is yet to be identified, was seen after the attack cradling her face in disbelief and walking over to the other side of the restaurant.
She then stopped underneath a television broadcasting the Super Bowl and hesitated for a moment.
The security guard still followed her, and the two could be seen continuously arguing, with the woman making it clear that she would sue.
She continued to tell the guard to get away from her, as he in turn warned her to leave.
The guard eventually escorted the woman out of the fast food joint, dying down the situation.
For now, what sparked the argument remains unclear, yet Sanchez claimed that the woman appeared to be ‘homeless.’
‘There’s a Skid Row a couple of blocks away from there and they just have a lot of traffic,’ he said, noting that the employees seemed more concerned by him recording the incident than by the slap itself.
