A "bikini barista" at a drive-thru coffee stand near Seattle was grabbed by the arm and yanked by a customer – leaving her with bruises and him with a first-degree attempted kidnapping charge.

Surveillance video shows the woman leaning out the window to hand drinks to a vehicle's driver, who grabs her and apparently tries to pull her into the car.

Fox 13 Seattle had the story:

According to the report, the incident occurred at a Ladybug Bikini Espresso stand in Lakewood, Washington, a suburb of Seattle, on Aug. 13.

The suspect, an apparent L.A. Dodgers fan, ripped the woman's shirt in the incident. The New York Post reports the barista was left with red marks on her wrist, bicep and shoulder

Fox 13 reports authorities tracked down the man in the footage, 19-year-old Ezekiel Guerrero, about a week later using information from his credit card receipt.

The incident comes as attention is drawn to high-profile crimes against young women, most notably the stabbing murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zrutska in Charlotte, North Carolina, which President Trump has pointed to as evidence of the need for tougher sentencing of criminals, especially repeat offenders.
