SoFi Stadium worker fired after disturbing video shows him flipping over food vendors' carts

A worker at SoFi Stadium in Southern California was fired after he flipped over food carts outside the Romeo Santos concert and injured a 12-year-old girl in the process.

The incident happened Saturday as Romeo Santos concertgoers were leaving the venue and security guards asked vendors to move back from the exits.

The worker - who has not been identified but is seen wearing a 'SoFi Stadium Guest Experience' shirt in social media posts - reportedly shoved over two carts. 

One of the carts had three children behind it - one of whom was hurt - after their mother walked away from the space briefly to use the restroom. 

The other vendor whose cart was flipped said the worker was angry that the vendors were not listening to him and SoFi security guards.

'He said "you want to see me mad, you want to see mad," And at that moment he started throwing the carts,' Luis Franco, one of the vendors involved, told ABC7.

According to Franco, the vendors had been complying with security guards when the worker approached him and flipped their carts. 

He said he was concerned for his business but was even more worried as a guest or person buying food could have become injured.  

'Someone could have passed by and could have gotten burned,' he said. 

In total, Franco said that lost food and damage to his cart cost several hundred dollars. 

It's unclear how much damage was done to the other cart involved but witnesses said the man caught 12-year-old Marlene Morales as he flipped the stand. 

Marlene's mom, Lesbia Tol Morales, said her daughter was left with bruises after some of the items struck her and was left traumatized by the experience. 

'It’s very hard to see someone treat your children badly,' Lesbia said. 

She also said the family is now out of hundreds of dollars after they drove from Bakersfield to try and make ends meet by capitalizing on the concert crowds.  

Video of the damage - reportedly worth hundreds of dollars - has been shared widely on social media and has caused outrage over the vendors the man targeted

One witness who spoke with local media said he seemed to target the children because they had been alone after their mother went to the bathroom. 

'He was being very aggressive,' said Graciee Sifuentes, who recorded video of the aftermath and talked with NBC 4 Los Angeles. 

Police said a report was filed after the incident. It's unclear if an arrest has been made or if any charges have been filed. 

The video of the damaged vendor carts sparked outrage online from concerned individuals who were shocked at the man's actions. 

'It takes a special kind of man to pick on little children,' one person said.

'This is terrible he was way out of line,' another added.

Video of the damage has been shared widely on social media and has caused outrage over the vendors the man targeted. 

'Waited for the mom to go to the bathroom, and did this to the children. EMOTIONAL DAMAGE,' one shocked user wrote in a Facebook comment. 

Others weighed in saying they found it wrong that the SoFi worker resorted to the extreme but that the vendors may have been causing safety concerns. 

'Sometimes I've seen these vendors don't want to listen and move away from the entrance because the want to be the first to sell,' one YouTube commenter wrote.

'I know they shouldn't throw your stuff to the ground but I get how frustrating that could be for workers in charge of keeping the air clear and safe for their guest,' the person continued.

In a statement to DailyMail.com, SoFi stadium officials said the man had been employed through a third-party vendor and that safety in their top priority.
