PHILADELPHIA --Police say a woman is wanted for assault after being caught on camera throwing a cup of coffee in another woman's face at a Starbucks,reports CBS Philly.

On Monday morning, police say a 54-year-old female was inside the Starbucks in Philadelphia when she got into an altercation with another woman that quickly escalated.


During the initial argument, police say the suspect threw a coffee stirrer at the victim. Once both women went outside, the suspect is seen in the video throwing a cup of coffee in the woman's face.
