Woolworths store emptied due to man brandishing knife.
A man has found himself in hot water after causing a disturbance at a Woolworths supermarket in South Australia. According to SA Chief Inspector Mark Collise, the man was approached by staff at the store on Reid Street in Gawler, just north of Adelaide, around 9:20am. It was then that the man pulled out a knife, causing quite a stir.

In response to the alarming situation, the supermarket management quickly called the police and began to evacuate the store. Thankfully, the authorities arrived within four minutes of being alerted and were able to apprehend the man swiftly. Chief Inspector Collise shared that upon their arrival, the police found the man lying on the floor of the supermarket, still clutching the knife.

Luckily, no one had been harmed in the incident. The 50-year-old man was taken into custody without further issue and was later transported to the hospital for a medical assessment. Upon reviewing the store's CCTV footage, the police discovered that the man had little interaction with anyone prior to the incident.

Chief Inspector Collise commended the quick thinking and actions of the store's staff, whose prompt response helped to ensure the safety of everyone involved. It was a scary and tense situation, but thanks to their vigilance, it was resolved without any harm coming to anyone.
