An irate shopper and a security guard are caught in a vicious brawl at a Coles supermarket.
Security cameras caught the pair fighting at a Coles self-service checkout in Prahran, Melbourne’s south-east, last month.
The security guard can be seen talking to a hooded male customer before the customer turns and lashes out with a punch.
The two men trade blows as shocked customers watch.
At one point, the guard manages to grab hold of the customer, lift him into the air and slam him to the floor.

The client then tries to get up and attack the guard again as the fight continues.
But the security guard slaps the man in the face after he gets up, stopping the brawl for a while.
It soon erupts again as the customer jumps forward and tries to punch the guard in the face.
The two men grab onto each other before the security guard pushes the customer into the luggage compartment of a cash register.
A store manager then steps in and breaks up the fight.

The security guard works for contractor MA Services Group, which did not respond to questions.
Coles said an investigation into the matter has been launched and it has since been resolved.
“(It) was immediately reported and reviewed accordingly with our security service provider,” a spokesperson told me 7News.
“Coles is pleased with the outcome of that review.”
Coles did not comment on the behavior of the security guard or customer.
