Man fly-kicks woman in crazy brawl outside Georgia mall on first day of reopening after coronavirus lockdown eased
A MAN fly-kicked a woman in a crazy brawl outside a Georgia mall this week on the first day of the complex reopening after the coronavirus lockdown was eased.
Footage shows a security guard from the Cumberland Mall in Atlanta attempting to pull three women off one another before a young man launches himself at one of the women on Tuesday.
The guard – wearing a yellow uniform and a face mask – can be heard saying: “Get off, or I’ll have to pepper spray both of you".
He then attempts to get between the trio as they wrestle on the ground in the parking lot, pulling each other’s hair.
Another man then leaps into the scene and dramatically fly-kicks one of the brawling women in the chest, knocking her down.
He pushes the security guard off the women and rescues one of the women by scooping her up and running off with her.

“We are working diligently to provide a safe, clean environment where people feel comfortable shopping, dining and enjoying their time.”
