A man from Connecticut was caught on camera going berserk inside a high-end department store.
Jason Gilbertie, 42, calmly strolled into Bloomingdale’s in Norwalk in the state before walking around the cosmetics department on the first floor where he then began to promptly throw items off counters and overturn glass tables and shelving.
