Assault?

After watching the video this cowardly bully should be charged with attempted murder. The victim could have quite easily died. I shop at the same place, it could have been me. What a dispicable act, absolutely no empathy or remorse shown to this poor man. I hope the judge sees common sense and locks this violent criminal away from the public...
