One of the women tried to take a picture of the car and as the suspects backed up to drive way, they hit the woman twice, according to police.

“Over a buggy full of food? How can you do this? How can you run somebody over for a buggy of food? Hit her, not only hit her but had no regards to her life and then run her over?” said Margo Dinardo, a witness.

Police said the woman may have broken her legs, but is expected to be okay.

Police are looking for the two men in the car that ran her over.
