It turned out that at the checkout, the man only paid for alcoholic beverages, and simply put a package of pancakes into his pocket and tried to quickly leave the store with them. The saleswoman noticed this and asked him to return the merchandise. However, after the pancakes were left at the checkout, the man sprayed the woman in the face with gas and fled.

A criminal case was opened against him under the article "Hooliganism".
