Podiatrist in San Marcos, CA

Cal State San Marcos said Tuesday that a current student and a former student are among the four women shown harassing a San Diego street vendor in a video that sparked anger when it went viral on social media.

The university also said that a third student, who is currently enrolled, shot the video and uploaded it to TikTok, where it was modified and spread to other platforms, including Instagram.

The school said that all of the current and former students are women, but it declined to provide their identities. The school has been in contact with all three.

“The actions in this video are extremely disrespectful to the vendor and go against the university’s values and how we expect members of our community to behave,” said Margaret Chantung, spokesperson for Cal State San Marcos.

“Our dean of students is looking into the matter to more fully determine what happened.”

Chantung says the incident appears to have occurred on Sunday or Monday night, when four young women began arguing about the price of the hot dogs the vendor was selling at a stand near Viejas Arena at San Diego State University. The price was $7.

In the video, one of the women calls the vendor a loser. And two women reach out and touch the food he is grilling, causing the man to become upset.

Officials have yet to confirm the identity of any of the four women, and the name of the vendor is still in question.

Chantung said it appears that an unidentified man modified the original version of the video and said, in a voice-over, that all four women were San Diego State students. He also gave what he claimed were the addresses they used on social media, and added, “Let’s find them and hold them accountable.”

San Diego State told the San Diego Union-Tribune on Tuesday that “none of the individuals in the video are its students. Further, while individual names have been shared online, at least one San Diego State student and a student organization tagged by social media accounts reported being misidentified and not present in the video, and none of the remaining names shared are SDSU.”

The misinformation spread faster than the universities could deal with it. The International Business Times quickly published a story that contained unverified information about the incident.

“This shows the viral nature of videos,” Chantung said. “There is a mob mentality around this. If you look at the comments, [they say], ‘We’ve got to bring justice.’ ”

LOS ANGELES, CA — A tornado toppled trees in Los Angeles County, and snow dusted the Hollywood sign Thursday, a cinematic display from Mother Nature before the brunt of a powerful storm hits Southern California overnight. The real storm is yet to come.

Blizzard conditions are expected in parts of Los Angeles County Friday after snow fell in places that hadn't seen a dusting in decades. The local mountains are under their first-ever blizzard warning. Equally rare, a tornado touched down in Los Angeles County Thursday, toppling several trees in La Mirada, KTLA reported. The National Weather Service confirmed a weak tornado touched down shortly before noon in the area of Spindlewood and Larrylyn drives.

As of Thursday morning, Hollywood, Simi Valley, Santa Clarita, La Crescenta, La Cañada Flintridge, Granada Hills and Sun Valley reported rare snowfall. The unusual sight stunned the experts and locals alike. Some claim it even snowed in Venice, but National Weather Service officials indicated it's more likely to be hail or graupel, which is when snowflakes form higher in the atmosphere and fall where it is above freezing, accumulating water and melting almost instantly.

At the same time, the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains were hit with intense snowfall Thursday in a prelude to the blizzard to come.

The rare blizzard warning will be in effect for Los Angeles County mountains from 4 a.m. Friday to 4 p.m. Saturday. National Weather Service forecasters said up to 5 feet of snow could accumulate in the mountains above 4,000 feet, accompanied by wind gusts topping 80 mph that will create "near zero visibility." Higher elevations could see as much as 8 feet of snow, with accumulations of 6 to 12 inches possible at elevations between 2,000 and 4,000 feet, "including most major mountain passes."

"Travel should be restricted to emergencies only," according to the NWS. "If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle."

On Thursday, scattered downpours washed over Southern California, dropping hail from to Pasadena and Long Beach

"For today (Thursday) and tonight just scattered light showers with rates generally a tenth of an inch per hour or less," according to the National Weather Service. "More shower activity than yesterday but still mostly on the light side. Main thing today continues to be the low snow levels which will result in some impacts to roads through the mountains, even in areas that don t often get snow, such as Cuesta Pass in (San Luis Obispo), possibly San Marcos Pass above Santa Barbara, and Highway 14 between Santa Clarita and the Antelope Valley."

The snow level dropped below 1,500 feet Thursday, but it will increase to at least 2,000 feet by late Friday morning.

A footage showing a group of four Caucasian women harassing a Hispanic vendor, Andrés Argüelles Álvarez, on a California street has surfaced online. The video was taken outside Viejas Arena at San Diego State University on February 11, 2023.

The video went viral soon after it was released on social media. Since then, the women in the video have received backlash for their behavior towards the vendor. A spokesperson from the college also described the incident to be “disrespectful and antithetical.”

The women haven’t been identified yet. However, netizens have flooded social media platforms showing support for the vendor and condemning the behavior of the women in the video. The footage was captured by a student of the California State University San Marcos.

A California State University San Marcos student captured a footage showing four Caucasian women harassing a vendor

The footage capturing the harassment of the Hispanic vendor by four Caucasian women immediately went viral upon its release online. A California State University San Marcos student, who didn't reveal their name, captured and released the footage on TikTok, writing:

“I much rather show how these girls go out in public and act than get myself involved.”

It is reportedly claimed that the California vendor named Andrés Argüelles Álvarez had done nothing to provoke the four women. Condemning their behavior, the California State University released a statement, saying:

“If applicable, we plan to pursue any violations of our student code of conduct. None of the individuals in the video are confirmed to be SDSU students.”

Andrés Argüelles Álvarez. Of residents under 18, 37% are Hispanic, and the Hispanic population is expected to continue to grow at a rapid rate. Approximately 21.5% of the county's population is immigrants, including refugees, who come from other countries,

It further stated:

“Further, while individual names have been shared online, at least one SDSU student and a student organization tagged by social media accounts reported being misidentified and not present in the video, and none of the remaining names shared are SDSU.”

Meanwhile, the Hispanic vendor reportedly stressed on the cases of racial harassment and said:

“Like me, I know that there thousands of people who live this every day.”

Recalling the incident, he stated how the women grabbed the ingredients from his hands, and after the other customers witnessed the scene, they didn't want to buy anything from him:

“They grabbed my bacon with their hand, all my vegetables, everything I use. People realised all the dirty things they were doing and it disgusted them. They no longer wanted to buy more.”

Margaret Chantung, the spokesperson for California State San Marcos, said:

“The actions in this video are extremely disrespectful to the vendor and go against the university’s values and how we expect members of our community to behave. Our dean of students is looking into the matter to more fully determine what happened.”

In the viral video, the women can be heard calling the vendor “a loser.” They were seen touching the food that Andrés Argüelles Álvarez was grilling, leading him to shout "stop" at them. Chantung stated that a witness mentioned that the women were students at the San Diego State University. Chantung continued:

“This shows the viral nature of videos. There is a mob mentality around this. If you look at the comments, [they say], ‘We’ve got to bring justice.’”

Furthermore, the women were captured complaining about the $7 price of a meat stick and went on threatening to “f*ck over” the vendor. The incident was highlighted amid an increase in robbery cases among Hispanic street vendors.
