(CNN) Miguel Medina stopped his push cart in downtown Los Angeles and reached inside for a paleta. Within seconds, he was knocked unconscious. When the 58-year-old street vendor opened his eyes, he was on the ground and surrounded by firefighters, he says. But some like Medina, who has been a paletero for nearly a decade, are considering quitting a job that has allowed them to bring joy to their communities. They just hit me and knocked me out," Medina told CNN.
