A shocking video from a Morrisons store in Greater Manchester caught the moment a woman in a wheelchair appeared to bring the supermarket to a stop by hurling items across a self-checkout area
A woman in a wheelchair unexpectedly started “throwing items” and “attacking people” during a Morrisons self-checkout rampage.
Shocking footage caught the moment a woman appeared to launch several items into the air as customers were heard gasping and shouting. Witnesses at the store, in Eccles, Greater Manchester, claimed the woman was “attacking” people during her supermarket riot, yesterday. The heated exchange appeared to be with another customer at the self-checkout area and a voice can be heard shouting “you stupid b****” as the woman in the wheelchair appeared to pick up other products and catapult them towards the other shopper.
The in-store video then showed several members of staff rushing to try and stop the unexpected self-checkout area clash – several members of the public and security officers also seemed to jump in to stop the shock encounter, according to Manchester Evening News.
This woman was then filmed as she goes to repeatedly kick the other customer and seems to continue attacking her after falling to the ground – before being pulled back by a member of staff.
The unexpected mayhem continued to sprawl as the woman was then filmed hitting out at another customer, as she is held back. A third customer appears to then kick her as she leaves the self-checkout area.
The two women then both fall to the ground gripping one another as they are surrounded by a group of onlookers who try to drag them apart.
The shopper who filmed the chaotic self-checkout incident said the woman with a wheelchair “started screaming and throwing things” but had no idea “what set her off”. The customer said: “To be honest, I am not too sure what set her off. She just started screaming and throwing things.
“Then she got out of her chair and attacked a poor woman who only came in for a balloon.” Another witness then claimed that the woman began “swinging” at an officer after police were called to the supermarket.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed they were called to the supermarket at around 6.15pm to reports of two women fighting. One woman was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault and assaulting a police officer.
