A film fanatic was caught on camera lashing out at a mother whose son was mistakenly given a reserved seat.
Erin Walton took to TikTok to share the insane scene at Cinemark Buckland Hill in Manchester over the weekend that seemingly only ended when local police arrived on the scene.
His video shows an unidentified woman, wearing a red T-shirt with the words Bread Box Theater printed on it, apparently getting in Walton’s face because her son was sitting in the wrong recliner.
“I was assaulted at the new Despicable Me movie with my kids because my son was in his seat,” Walton wrote in the caption.
‘A quick and easy solution, but the Bread Box Theatre partner didn’t give us a moment’s notice. #DespicableIndeed.’
An unidentified woman was caught on camera confronting a mother over her son sitting in her reserved seat.
The images do not make clear what exactly prompted the woman to confront Walton.
The video begins with the woman trying to take the camera out of her hands as she begins filming, and Walton pushes the woman away in response.
-Don’t take my phone away from me, are you crazy? – he asks the woman.
Soon a boy enters the scene and seemingly attempts to shoo the woman away as she comes face to face with Walton once again.
“I asked you to step back, you’re being rude and disrespectful,” the mother says, before the boy leads the woman away.
Walton then asks his son for the ticket and confirms that they are in the wrong seat.
Then he begins to move his son and daughter down the line, but not before telling the woman: “Have a little decorum, that’s all it takes, a little decorum.”
The woman appears to take the comment hard, placing her hands on her hips as she says, “I was just talking to you…”
But Walton interrupts her and says: “Don’t do that, I’m a grown woman, you’re not my mother.”
The situation only seemed to end when the police arrived at the Connecticut movie scene.
After Walton relocates his children, the woman again condescendingly comments that they are a “wonderful family.”
That seems to prompt both women to head to the lobby to complain; Walton tells a theater staff member she wants to speak to a manager and asks for police intervention.
“Are you going to press charges?” the woman asks, incredulous. “You’re the one who pushed me.”
“Of course,” Walton replies.
He later posted a follow-up video showing police officers at the theater and claiming the woman had been cited for disorderly conduct and disorderly conduct.
“She was removed from the premises and given a ticket,” Walton wrote of her attacker.
Cinema sources confirmed to DailyMail.com that the woman was also escorted out of the building and banned from entering the cinema.
DailyMail.com has contacted Manchester and Walton Police for comment.
The woman has since been banned from Cinemark Buckland Hill in Manchester.
Meanwhile, the Bread Box Theater issued a statement saying the woman in the video “is in no way involved with, or part of, our organization.”
“We are a fundraising arm of Covenant Soup Kitchen, raising money through concerts,” the organization said. explained on Facebook.

‘As part of our mission, we sell Bread Box t-shirts at our concerts. Those funds also help CSK.
“There is no way we can control the behavior of those who purchase the shirts, nor do we condone the behavior of the person in this video,” the founders of the organization wrote.
They added that they are asking the public to “continue to support our mission to help curb food insecurity in our community.”
