"The complainant was working at the convenience store outlet in Semenyih when two men went in around 5am.
"One of the two suspects tried to take three umbrellas without paying.
"The victim reprimanded the suspect, which led to an argument.

The one-and-a-half minute video shows a man in a green shirt attacking the worker. He then takes photos of the injured victim lying on the ground.
