Frightened onlookers have captured the moment an unruly man unleashes a tirade of abuse at a Bunnings staff member who allegedly yelled at his wife.
The confrontation was captured inside a Bunnings at Broadmeadows, 15 km north of Melbourne’s CBD, and shared to social media on Wednesday.
A man, wearing a half yellow jumper and blue beanie, is seen approaching the Bunnings staff member manning the counter at the tool shop section of the warehouse.
The man accuses the worker of yelling at his wife before aggressively pushing items off the counter and hurling abusive insults at him in Arabic.
‘Why you yelling at my wife?’ the man begins his tirade.

‘F*** you, f*** your sister the sl**,’ the man yells.
The shocked Bunnings worker holds both his hands up and does not engage with the customer.
Another Bunnings worker approaches the man and is heard telling the irate customer to ‘get out’.
‘Don’t f***ing yell, motherf***er,’ the man continues his tirade before another customer intervenes.
The man slams his hand on the tool shop counter and turns to leave before the video ends.
A TikTok user known is ‘Rizz Almosawe’ claimed to be the man in the video.
He alleged the Bunnings worker had been yelling at his wife before he confronted him.
‘He was shouting at my wife for no reason and the customers they protect my wife and call me,’ he wrote.

Another TikTok user known as ‘Towie’ defended the man’s actions claiming he was protecting his wife.
‘We protect our woman no matter what and to let you know there were witnesses,’ Towie commented.
‘We protect our woman no matter what and to let you know there were witnesses who told the story and that the employer got sacked for his actions
‘If it’s okay with you when someone disrespects your wife or sister/mother for absolutely no reason it’s different with us.’
‘If you shout and swear at our woman for no reason then this happens and the devil’s come out.’
Daily Mail Australia understands the confrontation occurred when the Bunnings team member called out to a customer after they had forgotten their receipt and were walking away.
Bunnings General Manager of Operations Matt Tyler told Daily Mail Australia he was aware of the incident and labelled the customer’s actions as ‘disrespectful’.
‘We are aware of an incident that recently took place at our Broadmeadows store,’ Mr Tyler said.
‘There’s nothing more important to us than the safety and wellbeing of our team and customers.
‘It’s not OK for anyone to experience abuse in our stores and we will always take steps to protect our team from disrespectful behaviour.’

However some social media users saw the lighter side of the frightening incident.
TikTok commenters joked the man reacted aggressively because he wasn’t given a discount or was upset because the famous Bunnings sausage sizzle was unavailable.
‘When they don’t beat it by 10 per cent,’ one person commented.
‘His power pass for Bunnings account was low,’ a second person wrote.
‘When you find out there’s no sausage sizzle on,’ a third added.
A fourth person joked:’when you wait in line and the guy in front gets the last snag.’
