The Brooklyn incident was just the most recent confrontation caught on video as tensions remain high.
Also on Thursday, though later in the evening, according to a video uploaded to Twitter, two customers are seen in an all-out brawl in front of what appears to be a refrigerated section. The violent altercation reportedly took place at a Sam’s Club in Hiram, Ga.

The video then cuts to a man being taken out on a stretcher with police officers.
According to police, the men both grabbed wine bottles and began hitting each other in the store after a previous confrontation resulting from one of the customers hitting the other customer’s cart.
However, police reportedly were quick to dispel rumors that the altercation was over water, hand sanitizer or other coronavirus-related items people have been stocking up on.
