Ugly Scene at Atlanta Mall as People Stampede for New Air Jordans (Video)

It was an ugly scene today at malls around the country as shoppers lined up and fought it out over the new Air Jordans. In Atlanta there was a stampede. One woman was arrested after she left her 1 year-old and 5 year-old locked in a car.

In Charlotte two women duked it out while waiting in line.
WAFF reported:

The disturbance started inside Carolina Place Mall just after 5am. Witnesses said as mall officials opened the mall doors, crowds of people pushed their way in.

“They almost took the door off the hinges,” one shopper who didn’t want to be identified said, “there were women with babies in their hands and they on their backs.”

Shoppers were in line waiting for the re-release of the Air Jordan XI Concord tennis shoe at Foot Locker, Finish Line and Downtown Locker Room.

Outside the Foot Locker on the second floor, witnesses said some shoppers started jumping the line, then a crowd of people at the back of the line forced their way to the front, causing several people to get angry and become unruly.

“People were falling, I had to jump over a girl, it was crazy,” Dominique Brewer said.

Two women were even spotted throwing punches. The incident was caught on camera by WBTV Photojournalist Corey Schmidt. Neither woman was arrested.
