WAUWATOSA - A Brookfield mother said she was accosted while driving her minivan in the Mayfair Mall parking lot.

Kim Stanton-McBride headed to the mall to shop with her teenage daughter for a winter formal dress Sunday afternoon. They were in the family minivan looking for a parking space.

Two men in their own car started following the minivan. Stanton-McBride said the men were angry, but she doesn’t know what upset them. At one point, the men stopped trailing Kim and her daughter.

This trip to the mall turned into a frightening situation when the suspicious car reappeared. It started coming at the minivan in a parking lot aisle, blocking Stanton-McBride’s path.

"These were adult men. Their level of violence was so strong over nothing, I still can't figure out what it was," she said.

Stanton-McBride told TODAY’S TMJ4 the men tried to force their way into the van. They shouted and pounded on the windows with their fists.

"They looked like they could kill you," she said.

Stanton-McBride said the men got back into their car, but didn’t leave.

"After he smashed into our car, he came back out; he started slamming his foot in the door, as you can see where the whole side is dented," she showed us.

On Monday, the shoe print from a suspect’s foot was still fully imprinted on the passenger-side door. It was clear enough for Wauwatosa police to identify the footwear’s brand.

"The officer said it was an Air Force One shoe he was wearing," said Stanton-McBride.

In one last act of intimidation, the suspect threw a glass bottle at the van. Then the men left. Wauwatosa police pulled the car over less than a mile from mall. The men were arrested without incident.

Police said they found a loaded handgun under the armrest in the car.

The driver of the car was said to be a 24-year-old man. The passenger was identified as a 22-year-old man. Both suspects are from Milwaukee. They were both in custody, but no charges had been filed as of Monday evening.

Stanton-McBride said Wauwatosa police and Mayfair Mall security did a good job of responding to the problem.

Stanton-McBride said she agreed to tell her story to bring attention to problems at Mayfair.

"Something needs to be done at the mall," she said. "It’s not just about teenagers."

Stanton-McBride and police both said they don’t know what motivated the two men to attack the minivan.
