This security camera footage from the Netherlands shows a 34-year-old man attempting to re-enter a store he was previously kicked out of for shoplifting, while being under the influence. Here, he’s returned with a broken bottle as a weapon. Whether the security guard has seen the weapon or not, he demonstrated zero patience, immediately planting a foot in the man’s chest. Although this recording contains no audio, witnesses report that the shoplifter was previously hurling racial epithets at the guard, who is Moroccan. This may explain the guard’s verve and enthusiasm as he follows up with some face shots while dodging the thief’s improvised knife. As the fight goes to the ground, the security guard delivers knee strikes while trying to restrain his opponent. With moves like these, he could easily work at Waffle House in the US.
