A supermarket cashier in Trindade, Brazil, was assaulted by a customer during a payment dispute captured on security footage.

In a recent incident in Trindade, a cashier at a local supermarket was physically assaulted after a dispute arose over the customer's payment process.

The incident occurred around noon on Tuesday and has since been reported to the police as bodily injury.

Security footage of the incident has been made public, illustrating the tension between the cashier and the customer before the assault occurred.
