PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. -- A woman was beaten and injured inside a Florida Wal-Mart by her 7-year-old grandson over chicken wings.

Vikkita Stratford said she was in a Palm Beach County Wal-Mart when her grandson, Latarian, asked for some wings.

When Stratford said no, she said the boy pummeled her in front of a crowd.

"(He) just started hitting me just started hitting me in front of the whole Wal-mart," Stratford said. "Everyone in there was upset. In my stomach in my legs wherever he could reach me that's where he hit me."

Latarian is the same child who stole his grandmother's sport utility vehicle and went on a joy ride, smashing four cars on the roadway.

The boy later said he wanted to do it because it was fun and it's fun to do bad things.

Stratford hopes health officials can diagnose the problems and get him help, the report said.

"I don't want him to continue in this direction so I'm doing the best I can do to get him help," Stratford said.

Latarian is undergoing a mental evaluation over the attack.
