The employee confronted Rockwell, who shoved her, according to police.
Then a second carousel employee confronted her. Rockwell allegedly grabbed that employee by the hair, pulled her to the ground and bit her hand.
The second employee, a 69-year-old female, was transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
