Man attacks French Apple store with steel ball
Armed with a steel ball, a man goes on a product smashing rampage at a French Apple store. Warning: violent content
Apple, like many companies, has received plenty of hate in the past from customers, but this is on a whole new level.
Spotted by The Next Web, a disgruntled customer, apparently unhappy with his customer support experience, went into an Apple Store in Dijon, France and proceeded to destroy iPhones, iPod Touches and a MacBook Air with what appears to be a boule ball, a heavy ball used in a variety of games in France.
Realising that he was on video, the man addressed the camera claiming that Apple was a company that "violates consumer's rights".
"They refuse to reimburse me as it is written by the European law of the consumer. I told them give me back my money, they say no. Here is what is going on now."
In videos of the incident posted on social media the unnamed man smashes the various Apple devices for a full minute before security steps in to take him out of the store.
Subsequent videos show the man trying to escape mall security before being apprehended a second time.
According to French news site LeJournal, the suspect has since been taken into police custody.
The investigation is said to be ongoing.
