A Florida man was arrested and charged with assault Tuesday after he blindsided a legally armed Walmart shopper.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office says 43-year-old Michael Foster spotted Clarence Daniels, 62, with a holstered gun in the parking lot of a Walmart store.

Newly released footage shows Foster following Daniels inside the store where he grabbed the shopper by the neck, threw him to the floor and placed him in a chokehold.

While grappling on the ground in full view of other customers, Foster reportedly shouted that Daniels possessed a weapon, while Daniels unsuccessfully tried to tell Foster he had a permit for his handgun.

When police arrived, they discovered Daniels was indeed a lawful concealed carry permit holder, and proceeded to arrest Foster for battery.

At least one witness who saw the clash unfold agreed that Foster should have been arrested.

"He doesn't even know who the victim is," Walmart shopper Manton Sameuls told Fox Tampa Bay. "But he just goes and attacks the man and throws him to the ground, necklock him, for what? Why? What did the man do?"
