The man, reportedly identified as Justin Gilbertie, entered the cosmetics department of the luxury store and almost instantly began to destroy display units, according to ABC7.
A security guard attempted to stop the rampage but was punched by the brawler, who continued to crush the interior of the store. Another sentinel reportedly tried to pepper spray the vandal, but the effort was apparently futile because the annihilation of goods continued.

Local police eventually responded, detaining the unruly customer after a brief struggle. The man was reportedly charged with two counts of third-degree assault, criminal mischief, interfering with an officer, and breach of peace.
The motives of his rampage remain unclear.
