The woman spoke to FOX 26 Houston after a video showing the incident circulated on social media.

“As soon as I parked, he jumped into my back seat,” she told the station. “I got out of the car. I went inside my daughters’ daycare, and I called 911. While I’m still on the phone with them, that is when he started hitting me.

“He punched me eight times. I feel like he wouldn’t have stopped if I wouldn’t have fallen. He already had his arm ready to go a ninth time.”

James told FOX 26 Houston that “this is not the right time for me to explain anything.” His attorney declined to comment on the incident to the Chronicle.
