Nia Jones was at a Southhaven, Miss., Kroger shopping for Thanksgiving supplies, and while she was in the baking aisle, she figured she'd ask the stranger if he knew how to make the pie.

Jones said the man looked at her in disgust and walked away, but seconds later he came back and starting beating her and her friend.
“He shoved my friend and the other lady into the shelves,” she explained. “And he turned around and sucker punched me.”

In a statement, Kroger said they were cooperating with police to find the suspect who assaulted Jones.
