A maskless man who allegedly threatened to assault the customers at a Walmart in Washington State was promptly beaten down by a no-nonsense shopper earlier this week.
The incident, which was caught on film and shared with Seattle's Q13 Fox, took place on Tuesday at a Walmart location in Federal Way, police confirmed. In the footage, the suspect, identified as 29-year-old Troy K. Robinson, is first seen ignoring Walmart employees who attempt to escort him out of the store, before a 21-year-old shopper intervenes.
Police say the suspect had been threatening "to assault anyone who touched him," which is when the 21-year-old "stepped in and confronted," per a statement shared with Fox News.

Following an investigation, the Federal Way Police Department claimed the suspect had earlier slammed into a parked car upon driving into the Walmart’s parking lot, then simply walked into the store before "attempting to shoplift." He was also offered a mask upon entry, which he removed after entering.
He now faces charges for driving under the influence, hit and run, and attempted theft in the third degree.
