A video has emerged of a man “fly-kicking” a woman during a wild brawl outside a Georgia mall on the first day it reopened following the coronavirus pandemic.

The cell phone video recorded Tuesday outside the Cumberland Mall in Atlanta showed a mall security guard – wearing his yellow uniform and a face mask – attempt to pull three women off one another.

“Get off, or I’ll have to pepper spray both of you,” the security guard says, getting between two women now on the ground in the parking lot as they pulled each other’s hair.

A man suddenly jumps into frame and “fly-kicks" the third woman in the chest, knocking her down. He then pushes the security guard off the other two women, scoops up one of them and runs away with her across the parking lot.

Only the security guard and another bystander were wearing masks. The profanity-laced video has since garnered more than 4.5 million views online, according to WGCL-TV. Cumberland Mall was also trending on Twitter Wednesday morning, with several social media users claiming the fight showed that Georgia should have remained closed for another few weeks.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp began "Phase One" of reopenings in the state on April 24, clearing most retail stores, hair salons and restaurant dining areas to resume business.

Following the order, the Cumberland Mall reopened Tuesday, with signs and stickers on the floor reminding visitors to remain at least six feet apart, Cobb Business Journal reported. Most retailers and restaurants inside, however, remained closed.

“New measures have been implemented to help ensure the health and safety for all who enter the Mall, including hand-sanitizing stations, touch-free interactions, frequent and intense cleanings and social distancing directions,” the mall said on its website. “We are working diligently to provide a safe, clean environment where people feel comfortable shopping, dining and enjoying their time.”

People don't know how to act after being on lockdown for several months......or maybe somebody wasn't social distancing the right way

Not sure what happened there exactly, but it appeared he was more interested in protecting someone than fighting. I'm cutting him some slack until we know more

Most shocking part of the video is the dude's wearing jean shorts and a hockey jersey. The Flying kick was a love tap, looked like he was just trying to get his girl out of there.

I see a pattern with everyone of these bad actors. Why is it almost always a black person? Animals.

Still doesn’t compare to Kevin Bacon’s fly kick in the movie ‘Footloose’.

It was towards the end when they were going to have the big dance and the trouble makers outside were starting a fight and that’s when Bacon comes running and fly kicks from the porch. Great cinematic history.
