WATCH | Well, that escalated quickly: Trolleys, baskets fly in Canal Walk mall brawl

[schumi]

A large group of people caused havoc at the Canal Walk shopping centre in Cape Town over the weekend, throwing various objects in an escalator fight that injured one security guard.

The group, described as young, were in the mall's food court on Saturday night and refused to leave after the centre was closed, shopping centre CEO Gavin Wood said.

He said they had reacted with violence and attacked security guards who were escorting them out of the centre.

"One of the security guards had to be hospitalised."



A video ostensibly taken that night shows a group of young people crowded on the escalators, while people watch from below and film proceedings with their cellphones.

Two cases of assault

Bring back the death penalty.

With the colour of the lighting and the incline of the escalator, perhaps they thought it was Lavender Hill.

Judging by the way the one is squatting I'd say more likely @Honey Badger's

When they hit that chap at the top he should've kicked the lot down the escalator. Dominos.

And have the Con Court judges come down on him like a ton of bricks?

Should send them in to deal with it

True, that's probably what would've happened

I can't recall any shops that have blue baskets in Canal Walk. That doesn't look like a security that is being thrown with the basket.

I don't know how fast these type of videos spread, but I was shown this video at 0h00 Saturday night.
