A hero military veteran jumped into action to take down a knife-wielding man threatening to stab shoppers at a South Carolina Walmart - by smashing him over the head with a metal pole.
Video shows the unidentified man dressed in red hoodie swearing and shouting on the floor of the Walmart located in Columbia, SC demanding $20.
The man is seen waving his knife yelling, 'I'm going to start cutting you all up,' as horrified bystanders stand by during the incident that took place on January 4th around 2pm.
One of the store managers tried to confront the suspect, but the man grew more irate - and in a fit of rage - attempted to slash him.
Moments later a man identified as Demario Davis ambushed the suspect from behind whacking the suspect over the head with a metal pole.
As the suspect falls to the floor he drops the knife and another bystander rushed in to grab it, before two sheriff's deputies emerge and place the assailant in handcuffs.
The man tries to struggle, before yelling out: 'No, no, no. I didn't do it. I didn't do anything.'

honestly, people have to step up and stop letting the crazies rule us.....
actually think this type of behavior is becoming standard behavior for some....
Special thanks to Laquanda Eickelberger for that footage.
The guy who hit the crazy was not messing around.... WHAM!
What she really meant to say!
Typical liberal thought process: Someone ELSE should take responsibility.
Regards,
Someone did step up.
Yeah, they don’t have good male role models so they just pick up what they’re around.
The goon will have weeks with a sore head and a lesson to never bring a knife to a stanchion fight.
I can actually say this silly story enhanced my vocabulary.
Now trying to figure out how I can work “stanchion” into a conversation casually at work tomorrow?
before two sheriff’s deputies emerge
Where were they before?
Probably reading the updated rules and regulations regarding agitated people. Or perhaps on the phone trying to get a crisis-outreach counselor to the scene.
Or: “What do you think Frank, should we arrest this guy?”
“I don’t know Bob, the last ten guys we arrested were out the next day - so what’s the point? If he stabs somebody then we can talk about it more.”
Everyone was like “Just another day at Walmart”.
Good job!
I was hoping for a nice hard hit. It was not as hard as I was hoping but it left a mark I trust.
I am starting to understand why Ebenezer Scrooge was the way he was. That criminal was definitely part of the “excess population”.
Kinda reminds me of the disco classic.....”you can ring my belllll, bell bell, you can ring my bell ding dong...dinga linga dong.”
He got his bell rung. Hats off to the Vet.

As I recall visits to Walmart, I don’t recall seeing a stanchion.
What is a stanchion any way?
