A rampage by a naked 18-year-old has sparked serious questions about an Adelaide shopping centre’s security response.
Witnesses to the Westfield Marion incident recorded the man dressed only in socks smashing glassware and coffee mugs on the floor. Witnesses say the man ran towards frightened shoppers and confronted a woman with a pram.
The incident ended when a group of shoppers grabbed the man and wrestled him to the ground after subduing him with a trolley.
A woman who recorded the incident can be heard asking where security is as the man continues to throw glassware.
The man was not charged, with police treating it as a mental health incident.
“Where’s security?” a shopper can be heard saying as the man shatters glassware on the floor.
“We saw two security guards just standing there,” witness Michelle Palmer said. “(They) didn’t have their hands on him.”
NewsWire has contacted Westfield for further comment.
This incident comes five months after three teens allegedly brandished machetes and batons around Westfield Marion, sending the shopping centre into lockdown and triggering a heavily armed police response.
The NSW Coroners Court is undertaking an inquest into potential failings in the mental health system and shopping centre security protocols after April’s mass stabbing at Westfield Bondi Junction shopping centre, resulting in six deaths and further injuries.
The centre did not sound an alarm until a minute after the perpetrator, Joel Cauchi, was shot dead by police.
