Justice - that's what one Bronx mother is demanding after she says her son was attacked outside a sneaker store over the weekend and it was all caught on camera.

Tamara says her son was on line at JD Sports along Fordham Road when things took a violent turn.

"So, while he was in the line, you know, the guy, they were shoving and all of this stuff. So they shook him and they shoved them and he shoved them back - then the guy punched him in his face," Tamara tells News 12.

Tamara says this was an unprovoked attack.

Her son now left with stiches and bruises.

The 21-year-old did not want to show his face.

She says the emotional damage this has left behind is heartbreaking.

He doesn't want to come out of his room. Eat. It's just really sad, you know, for a mom to witness something like that to their kid. And it's all over social media," said Tamara.

Tamara says the store had no security and that police were called after the incident.

News 12 visited the store in person, but the manager was not available.
