The security worker then goes after the customer, but he can be seen being held back by another person who reportedly may have been an employee. The customer used his shopping cart to block the worker and turned to leave. Reportedly, the customer then spat on the worker -- though it is not immediately apparent in the footage. The worker then punched the customer in the head, who could be seen falling to the floor, out cold.
As per Walmart Casey Staheli, the man who punched the customer was a contracted, third-party security worker and not a Walmart associate. He has, per the spokesperson, since been banned from working at the retail giant’s stores. Staheli added that he was unable to confirm claims that the shopper in the clip spat on the security employee.
While initially it was debated if the altercation occurred in Chicago, Staheli later confirmed that the incident occurred at Walmart’s Englewood, Colorado, location.
