A police employee has been charged over a wild brawl that erupted inside a Woolworths supermarket in Auburn, Western Sydney.
The confrontation broke out between two male shoppers around 1:20pm yesterday, starting with a shove, followed by a kick — before one man grabbed a two-litre bottle of full cream milk and swung it. The bottle exploded on impact, sending milk splashing across the store and drenching a cashier.
“I feel bad for her the most,” one witness told 9News.
A woman accompanying one of the men also jumped in to defend him.
“The wife’s a true one — my wife better do that for me too,” a bystander said.
“I was actually happy to see the wife jump in for the husband. I thought that was great,” added another.
Woolworths confirmed the incident, stating, “There’s no place for violence like this in our stores,” and said they are cooperating fully with police investigations.
