Police in St Louis are on the hunt for a woman who was captured on video punching a sheriff’s deputy and striking her in the head with her own baton after the officer asked her to put on a mask inside a gas station convenience store.

According to the St Louis Metropolitan Police Department, the incident took place just before midnight on Christmas Day at the Shell gas station at 721 North Tucker Boulevard.

The 59-year-old St Louis County sheriff’s deputy told police she was working security at the gas station when a woman entered the store without a face covering.

Surveillance video from inside the store shows the suspect putting on a mask, then seemingly exchanging some words with the deputy standing by the door.

The deputy said the irate customer pushed her on the way out of the store and then began punching her with a closed fist, including after the victim fell on the ground, as video that has been circulating on social media shows.

During the beating, the attacker grabbed the deputy’s baton and struck her in the head, causing a concussion, according to the police.

Video shows the injured deputy rising to her feet and following her attacker to a red car in the parking lot.

The officer uses her baton to strike the woman inside the car, before the vehicle speeds away.
