He then attempted to reach for the boxes before being dragged out of the exit. The security guard told the culprit to \u201cget the f**k out,\u201d while the cameraperson followed. The alleged shoplifter called the security guard a \u201cb****rd\u201d before attempting to hit him. He was then wrestled back to the ground as eyewitnesses cheered.

Hope he\u2019s charge with assault. \u2014 Will (@willlondon87) August 26, 2021 There hasn\u2019t yet been any update on what caused the fight, or whether the man attempted to get back in again.
