Two Queens women have been arrested in connection with a brawl over a parking spot outside a Long Island mall that was captured on video, police said on Thursday. Authorities say Latoya Friday(24), of the Rockaways was looking to park at the crowded Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream Sunday and saw a man, the husband of the other woman arrested, standing in an empty spot, apparently trying to hold the space. Friday and the man, who was holding a young child, started arguing. At some point, the man's wife, 35-year-old Tawana Morel of Rosedale, showed up and Friday allegedly punched her in the head. The situation escalated into an all-out brawl, and Friday ended up at the bottom of the pile. A profanity-laden video of the fight posted on youtube shows Morel straddling Friday and repeatedly punching her in the face. Morel's husband, still holding the child, pushes a second woman away and says, “My wife is going to beat her." Friday and the man, who was holding a young child, started arguing. As the two women are separated, the man with the child can be heard saying, “Now you got knots on your face for running your… mouth. Now go home. Brooklyn style.” Morel, her husband holding the child and two other children then walk away. Police say Friday suffered minor injuries and refused treatment at the scene. Friday reported the altercation to police a few days after the fight, police said. Authorities reviewed surveillance footage from multiple angles and arrested both Morel and Friday.
