"We were told we were harassing her [the store manager] to use those coupons and she threatened to call the cops," Hill said.

The women said they attempted to reason with the manager, who was caught on a cellphone recording saying the women "better make like water and get to running."

Hill said she left the store first and watched as Mozzo-Mart collected her coupons. However, before the second woman could leave, she was attacked by the manager, the customers said.

"With her fist balled up that's when she hit me in the eye and the face," Mozzo-Mart said.

The manager, whose name was not released, was arrested on a charge of misdemeanor assault.
