The security guard was seen kicking the man
A video captured the moment a Punjabi security guard got into a fistfight with a man in Canada, attracting online attention.
The incident happened at a supermarket and it is believed the man was suspected of shoplifting, prompting the guard to approach him.
According to unconfirmed reports, the man refused to hand his bag over to be checked and when the guard insisted, the man turned violent.
The clip began with the man throwing punches at the turban-wearing security guard.
However, the guard did not succumb to the man’s aggression and reacted with a few slaps and kicks of his own.
The security guard was seen kicking the man in the legs and repeatedly slapping him over the back of the head whilst holding onto him.
Shoppers were stunned as they watched the incident unfold.
It didn’t take too long before the guard overpowered the aggressive man and literally kicked him out of the supermarket doors.
The video went viral and sparked widespread reactions, with many praising the security guard’s swift response and bravery when dealing with the violent individual.
One user quipped: “LOL, Sardarji turned the security check into a Bhangra dance-off!
“This guy didn’t expect a cultural twist to his day!”
Another said: “This guy didn’t just fight for himself; he fought for all of us…”
Speculating what had transpired, another wrote:
“Guy was trying to steal, I guess he tried to stop him.”
Others echoed: “Punjabi aa gye oye.”
On the other hand, some saw the video as an opportunity to post comments with racial overtones, as one wrote:
“Canada is not the next Punjab, it is already more Punjab than the Punjab.”
Another said: “You import the third world, you become third world!”

In recent months, there have been viral videos of Indians living in Canada being involved in disputes.
A video circulating in October 2024 showed a tenant’s belongings being thrown out because she reportedly refused to vacate the property.
It is believed that the incident happened in Brampton.
The video shows two men taking items out of the property while the Indian man, who was just in a pair of shorts, looked on.
One of the men was believed to have been the landlord.
The pair had an exchange of words before the tenant appeared to accuse the landlord of lying to him.
