A Sinop, Brazil supermarket became the scene of a violent attack last Saturday. Security footage shows a man browsing shovels before selecting one and ambushing the store manager.
The attack appears premeditated. The assailant is seen walking around the store with the shovel, seemingly waiting for the right moment. He struck while the manager was distracted on the phone, hitting him directly in the head.
The blow knocked the manager to the floor. Other employees quickly tackled the attacker and held him until police arrived.
Reports indicate the attacker’s wife, an employee of the store, had previously complained to her husband about the manager.
The manager sustained head and ear injuries, including hearing loss. Police are investigating the incident.
