FLORENCE, S.C. (WBTW) -- Florence police are investigating a Friday afternoon fight that broke out between a Walmart employee and two other people.

Capt. Stephen Starling said a portion of the confrontation, which happened around 4:45 p.m. at 2014 S. Irby St., was captured on surveillance video. It began when a store worker asked to see the receipt of two people who were leaving.

One of the customers then pushed the employee, who responded by punching the man. Another person broke up the fight before police arrived. The worker was examined but did not appear seriously hurt, Starling said.
