Two of the women involved in the brawl have reportedly since been charged. Law enforcement sources reportedly said the incident started because someone had cut the line.
Video shows an employee hitting a maskless customer in a black and white dress, and dragging her to the ground before her coworkers joined and piled on the woman.
A friend of the customer, in a black tube top, appears to try to pry the four employees off her which quickly devolves into violence and as punches are thrown.
A witness at the store, who shared the video online, claimed the fight began when one of the women got in an argument with another customer about cutting in line.
A brawl broke out in a Scottsdale Bath & Body Works on Saturday, March 6 over someone cutting in line, says the Scottsdale Police Department. It was all caught on video.
In a Twitter post, employees and customers are seen fighting at the Fashion Square Mall Bath & Body Works location. The Twitter user says a woman was standing too close to another customer, they started arguing and then employees tried de-escalating the fight.
The fight got worse, however, with employees and customers being thrown to the ground. Police say this incident wasn’t related to race and/or wearing a mask, as some Twitter users claimed.
“The initial information that we have is two female subjects were cited criminally for the incident,” police said, not detailing which of the woman were cited.
L Brands Communications, the parent company of Bath & Body Works, said in a statement about the incident, “We are deeply concerned by the incident in one of our stores and are currently investigating the matter in partnership with local law enforcement.”
Fashion Square Mall was reached out to for a comment on the incident and we have not heard back.
