A supermarket owner has copped a face full of pepper spray before being threatened and racially abused after confronting two sisters over an alleged shoplifting incident.
Sarah Wang, who owns Ashfield IGA in Perth's eastern suburbs, said the violent altercation kicked off when she approached the two girls on Monday.
Ms Wang was allegedly assaulted and verbally abused by the two sisters, aged 13 and 14, after her and another staff member asked them to return items they were accused of stealing.
Western Australia Police allege the teenagers, from Gosnells, south of Perth, attempted to steal food, drinks and toiletries by concealing them under their clothes before Ms Wang stepped in.
