A shirtless Florida man attacked multiple people with a metal shelf during a wild brawl inside a Miami-area supermarket Thursday night.

A chaotic fight involving “two large groups of people” erupted following an “intense verbal argument” that escalated into a physical altercation near the Publix entrance at the intersection of Southwest 163rd Street and Southwest 95th Avenue around 6 p.m., according to WPLG and police reports.

Two women involved in the scuffle collided with a stand holding greeting cards, knocking down one of the shelves as they tumbled onto the floor, as shown in a video obtained by a local outlet and shared by the social media account OnlyinDade.

A man, partially unclothed and later identified as Climont Mann, allegedly lifted the large, rectangular shelf and struck the two women engaged in the fight on the ground.

Mann appears to turn around and walk towards another fight that broke out, but reverses course and returns to the two females on the floor.

One of the blows appears to strike one of the women in the head.

The 20-year-old smashed the shelf on the pair two more times before he dropped the object and jumped into the brawl.

A larger group on the opposite side of the registers surrounded two other fighters wrestling on the ground, according to the video.

Dozens of items were thrown across the floor, including greeting cards, headphones, a loaf of bread, paper, sandals and the one woman’s wig.

Curious shoppers stood off to the side as they watched the melee, while others casually walked past the assault happening in front of them.

“Ooh, man, you going to jail,” one person behind the camera said.

Uniformed Publix workers positioned themselves in front of the registers and employee offices as they waited for police to arrive.

The brawl eventually spilled into the parking lot before officers broke it up. Everyone involved with the midweek melee was trespassed from the store.

Police did not reveal the cause of the brawl.

Two people were transported to the hospital and several others were treated by fire crews outside the store, according to NBC 6 South Florida.

“I thought it was horrible. It was a disgrace,” one shopper told the outlet. “Security did not step in when they should’ve. It was just an outrage and a disgrace.”

The local shopper feared her go-to store would lose customers because of the brawl.

Mann was charged with felony aggravated battery, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct, according to court records viewed by The Post.

The criminal mischief charge was dropped in bond court on Friday.

A judge ordered him to stay away from his alleged victims, both in person and online.

He is being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $5,150 bond, according to jail records.

Mann is scheduled to be arraigned on Dec. 8.
