-- Street vendors are pushing back against the city after another video went viral of police arresting a vendor inCBS2's Ali Bauman spoke to the woman arrested, who said she feels she has no choice but to continue breaking the law.

"I felt very sad and scared," she told Bauman in Spanish."I have been vending for a long time. I have tried to find other jobs, but I've been turned down because of my age. We're not hurting anybody. We just need a permit to do our work legally."
