Movie theater "Shhh!" led to Pa. woman's assault, report says

STROUDSBURG, Pa. - A woman says she was assaulted by a group of teens after she told a few girls to pipe down inside a Pennsylvania movie theater, reports CBS Philly.

Cindy Santamaria-Williams says the confrontation at a theater at Stroud Mall in Stroud Township left her with a black eye, a broken eye socket and bruises.

She said it began with the girls harassing her and after she notified management, she says they joined up with five more teens - including two boys - and waited for her outside in the parking lot.

That's when Santamaria-Williams says she was brutally attacked, reports the station.

"They immediately jumped on me and knocked me to the ground," the woman recalled. "I can ID those girls. They were in my face, their faces are in my head. If I see them again, or in a lineup, I know exactly who they are."

The Stroudsburg Area Police Department is reviewing surveillance footage to help track down the teens, who could face simple assault charges, reports the station.
