A worker at a 7-Eleven in Brooklyn has lost his job after he and
other store employees were recorded ripping the clothes off a suspected
shoplifter. The video was recorded by a bystander Wednesday, and then promptly posted on the Internet. It begins with two clerks dragging the man back into the store and continues as they try to wrestle him into submission.
In
the process, his shirt is ripped off, his pants fall down and he is
left struggling in his boxers. One worker appears to bite the man on the
shoulder. Another tries to yank him up by his underwear.
Through
it all, the man shouts "I got nothing, man!" while disbelieving patrons
alternate between laughing and shouting at the clerks to let the man
go.
"Somebody call the police. This is ridiculous!" one patron shouts.
A
7-Eleven spokeswoman told reporters the chain found the video
horrifying. The company fired one worker and will retrain two others.
Police said the shoplifting suspect was already wanted in another case. He faces charges including robbery and assault.
