   A violent brawl broke out at a California Target store involving several   
   men and a teen who pleaded for mercy, crying out that he was only 13   
   years old, witnesses said.   
      
   Shocking video taken inside the Target in Redlands on Monday night shows   
   a group of four men surrounding someone before assaulting him as   
   horrified shoppers looked on.   
      
   “They start swinging towards the Latino guy,” Laura Sanchez, a witness,   
   told KTLA5. “It was like four against one.”   
      
   The victim could be seen in the video trying to take a swing at his   
   attackers before being pummeled to the floor.   
      
   The group of four then circle him and start stomping and kicking him as   
   bystanders call the police.   
      
   Sanchez said she could hear one of the people involved in the brawl   
   yelling, “I’m 13, I’m 13! You can’t put your hands on me.”   
      
   Redlands police said no charges have been filed as the victim, who was   
   not publicly identified, told them he wasn’t interested in speaking with   
   the cops.   
      
   The cause of the brawl remains under investigation.   
      
   The fight marks the latest violent incident to erupt at the same   
   Redlands shopping plaza on West Lugonia Avenue, with a similar incident   
   caught on tape last month outside a Ross Dress for Less store.   
      
   The brawl is also the latest in a long wave of crime affecting Target,   
   with CEO Brian Cornell informing investors Wednesday that violence has   
   shot up inside the popular retailer’s stores.   
      
   Shoplifting that included “threats of violence” surged 120% during the   
   first five months of the year, Cornell said during the company’s   
   second-quarter earnings call.   
      
   “Our team continues to face an unacceptable amount of retail theft and   
   organized retail crime,” Cornell added. “Unfortunately, safety incidents   
   associated with theft are moving in the wrong direction.”
