- description: A DISGRUNTLED shopper has become an internet sensation after he was filmed apparently going berserk and trashing a mobile phone shop following what is believed to have been a dispute over his handset. The 42-year-old customer appeared to go ballistic and let off fire extinguishers, pulled stock of the walls and overturned tables after going into a T-Mobile shop on Saturday afternoon. The incident at the Market Street shop in Manchester city centre brought the bustling area to a standstill as other shoppers stopped to watch - and filmed it on their own mobile phones. As the shopper was seen to unleash an apparent three-minute trail of destruction, one member of T-Mobile staff stood by the window looking on - before calling his mobile phone to ask for help. Moments later two burly colleagues confronted the angry customer before he was arrested and handcuffed then led away by a team of five police officers. Footage of the rampage was posted onto video sharing site YouTube on Sunday. The clip seemingly shows the customer ripping phones from the wall and tearing down displays. He used two fire extinguishers to ruin tables and desks before snarling at the sales assistant. The shopper then smiles as police arrest him. The film ends with a shot which shows a large crowd of people standing motionless on the street outside. A T-Mobile spokesman said the incident was "very upsetting" for its staff. They added: "The customer's dispute was in relation to a refund that we were not able to give as it was clearly outside of the stated terms and conditions. "There were seven members of staff and a number of customers in store at the time and we are very pleased to say that none were injured during the incident. "We are currently assessing the damage, and will be re-opening the store as soon as possible." Greater Manchester Police later said a man from Salford had been charged with criminal damage and public order offences. He is due to appear at Salford and Manchester Magistrates' Court on Tuesday 30 July 2012. A police spokesman said: "At 4.25pm on Saturday 30 June 2012, police were called to T Mobile store on Market Street in Manchester City Centre to reports of an aggressive customer. "A 42-year-old man got into a verbal altercation with members of staff and started to damage items in the store."
