Security staff member Zach Cotter, 28, was caught on camera hitting Karen Ivery, 37, at Target in Blue Ash, Hamilton County, Ohio, in October last year after she grew 'aggressive' with a manager.
CCTV footage from the store shows Mr Cotter intervening after an altercation broke out with a manager when Ms Ivery claimed she wanted the store to pay for her purchases in 'reparations'.
Startling CCTV video footage shows Mr Cotter punching Ms Ivery in the face, causing her to fall to the floor
According to the manager's statement after the incident, a cashier called her over when Ms Ivery asked for her grocery bill of over $1,000 by covered by reparations.
She claimed Ms Ivery said she had a 'privileged life' and that she was 'owed this'.
The manager said that if she wanted a donation, she would need to call in the morning. She claimed this caused her to become verbally aggressive.
CCTV footage from the store shows the woman walking forcefully towards the manager, which led her to put her hands up and back into a nearby counter.
Mr Cotter claims he was acting in self defense, and told officers after the incident that she 'charged' at him. She was later arrested for Menacing and Disorderly Conduct.
'Ivery was very argumentative and confrontational about the whole incident. She was confrontational with officers on scene and didn't want to explain her actions that evening.'
After being asked if she is OK by the officer, Ms Ivery replied: 'Physically I am OK. Emotionally I am very, very angry.'
'This is my Rosa Parks moment,' she added.
