According to the police, the suspect, Michael Palacios, 31, got into a confrontation with three unidentified individuals. “I waited for them to finish what they were doing, and I just did what I wanted to,” Palacios said.
Palacios claims things worsened when a security guard disregarded his plea to use the restroom. And he said that after speaking to a customer, things got out of hand, and he allegedly started threatening people, breaking a glass wall, and hitting one of his attackers.
Palacio also confesses that he was drunk during the incident.
The video posted on Twitter is currently garnering 25.1 million views and 305.6k likes. Twitter users shared varying opinions about the video they had just viewed.
One user wrote: “If you see someone reach into their bag after getting jumped, you should be concerned and looking for an exit,” while another replied, “I was surprised they stuck around to see what he pulled out.”
Another user expressed his unlikeliness regarding funny reactions from different users, saying: “And people laughing?????? This world is ending,” which got a reply, “Bruh, let me tell you about human history. This is mild.”
Although it’s unclear whether police are looking for the three individuals, Michael says he has no interest in filing a complaint. Following his arrest, Palacios was charged with criminal mischief, three menacing counts, and two illegal weapon possession charges.

If you get in a heated argument with someone and they go to get something out of their bag or car, leave. Leave as quickly as possible.
