A video has emerged of a man “fly-kicking” a woman during a wild brawl outside a Georgia mall on the first day it reopened following the coronavirus pandemic.
The cell phone video recorded Tuesday outside the Cumberland Mall in Atlanta showed a mall security guard – wearing his yellow uniform and a face mask – attempt to pull three women off one another.

A man suddenly jumps into frame and “fly-kicks" the third woman in the chest, knocking her down. He then pushes the security guard off the other two women, scoops up one of them and runs away with her across the parking lot.

Only the security guard and another bystander were wearing masks. The profanity-laced video has since garnered more than 4.5 million views online, according to WGCL-TV. Cumberland Mall was also trending on Twitter Wednesday morning, with several social media users claiming the fight showed that Georgia should have remained closed for another few weeks.

Following the order, the Cumberland Mall reopened Tuesday, with signs and stickers on the floor reminding visitors to remain at least six feet apart, Cobb Business Journal reported. Most retailers and restaurants inside, however, remained closed.
