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.'

My sister teaches at an inner city Baltimore magnet school. It’s a boarding school Sunday night through Thursday night, then the kids go back home Friday and Saturday nights. The kids must lead disciplined, structured, orderly, and polite lives (with males present) while boarding at the school during the week. But, when they return to their ghetto homes for the weekend, they have to again revert to the tough ghetto rat to survive. When the kids come back to school, they have two days of fresh ghetto culture imbued in them, so they are unruly, rude ghetto brats until about Tuesday.
Imagine how tough that would be getting whipsawed between two cultures like that!
Bill Frady runs LockNLoad radio from Columbia, SC. Can’t wait to hear what he says about this.
Way to go, DeMario. I’d go to the WalMart to buy ammo with him any time.
You could say, “Don’t go in the bathroom. There’s a horrible stanchion there.”
“before two sheriff’s deputies emerge
Where were they before?”
Only minutes away.
Put a stanchion in the ground, fill it with concrete, and now it’s a bollard.
Smacking him over the head with a stanchion
El Cabong to the rescue
I can see going crazy because of it. :(
She is retiring. Her final day is two weeks from yesterday. It’s been absolutely driving her crazy. She was in good suburban schools most of her career and went to this school about ten years ago. It has continually deteriorated. The high standards of academics and social expectations disappeared with the post George Floyd race tensions.
Man wielding a knife is subdued by bystanders in an SC Walmart
So “...before two sheriff’s deputies emerge...” just seems a little strange.
The cops were hiding until the good Samaritan made it safe for them to clock in?
One sees stanchions used for crowd control everywhere.

How about “we need to impose new stanchions on Iran”.
