A bizarre incident has taken place in a French Apple store, with an unidentified man entering the retail outlet and methodically smashing thousands of dollars’ worth of iPhones, using a steel ball used for the game boules.

Check out the video below.

Apparently, the incident related to accusations that Apple had violated the customers’ European consumer rights. “They refused to reimburse me,” he says to the camera in French, after noticing he is being filmed. “I told them: ‘Give me my money back’. They said no. So you know what is happening? This is happening!”

The location was an Apple store in Dijon.

What seems most bizarre about the video is how little anyone does about it. Even after mall security arrive, the averagely-sized man continues acting abrasively toward them, and it is only after he puts his hands on the neck of one of the guards that he is eventually tackled.
