Wild Walmart brawl breaks out after shopper apparently spits on employee
Shocking video shows a Walmart security worker knock a customer out stone-cold with just one, ruthless punch after the shopper apparently spat on him.
A 14-second clip uploaded late Tuesday to Facebook shows the Walmart contractor and a customer engaged in a ferocious shoving match.
The clash quickly escalated when the male shopper rammed the security staffer with his cart, hitting him once.
The customer then appeared to lunge his head forward and spit on the worker, prompting him to knock the man out cold with one punch, the clip shows.
“Walmart Englewood ain’t playin today,” a caption accompanying the footage read, without elaborating on what caused the fracas.
Meanwhile, commenters on the clip quickly noted the size difference between the Walmart watchman and the customer.
“Wow that goes to show never estimate somebody by their size,” one reply read in part.
However, others claimed the knockout blow was a cheap shot, pointing out that the customer appeared to turn his head as the angered security staffer approached.
“It’s easy to knock a guy out when he doesn’t see it coming especially to the back of the head,” one man wrote.
Still, others accused the decked man of faking his dramatic fall, calling it a “flop” akin to soccer players taking a dive in search of a penalty call.
A Walmart spokesman confirmed to The Post Friday that the in-store skirmish occurred Tuesday in Englewood, Colorado.
The man who punched the customer was a contracted, third-party security worker and not a Walmart associate. He has since been banned from working at the retail giant’s stores, spokesman Casey Staheli said.
Staheli said he was unable to confirm claims that the shopper in the clip spat on the security employee.
