It seems that some Americans have taken the hunting part of bargain hunting literally in their approach to the post Thanksgiving, or Black Friday, sales.
In a Los Angeles Walmart store a woman fended off her rivals for a cheap TV by pepper spraying them. 20 people were treated for injuries from the incident, many complaining of burning in their throats and skin and eye irritations.
But it gets better. In gun crazy America, there were the inevitable shootings – “gunfight in the consumer electronics aisle”. And there were fisticuffs too, in Florida a man was arrested after a fight at a jewellery counter – he kept going and tried to punch the police officers who tried to subdue him.
