Shoe Store Brawl: Salesman Beaten After Refusing Exchanges
In an unsettling incident, a 23-year-old shoe salesperson in Bielefeld endured a vicious attack after denying a customer's request for a shoe exchange. The event unfolded on Tuesday, as per the local police's account, released on Wednesday.
The saga began when a 47-year-old woman, accompanied by her daughter, sought to exchange a pair of shoes that had been purchased at the store. When the salesperson refused their request, the woman retaliated by slapping him across the face. A skirmish ensued, involving two salespeople, the disagreeable customer, and her daughter.
Later in the day, the aggression escalated even further when two unidentified men, one of them concealing his face behind a mask, entered the store. These intruders then set upon the hapless salesperson, delivering brutally forceful kicks and punches. They went on to claim that they were avenging a loved one, before swiftly exiting the scene.
The police are presently on the lookout for any witnesses or details that might shed light on the identities of these masked attackers.
