Petrol station worker smashes bottle of wine over customer's head in brutal money row

This is the shocking moment a petrol station employee smashes a bottle of red wine over a customer's head in a row over money.

Saleh Ahmed, 45, was arrested for second-degree battery after the fight at Hopkins One Stop Store in Louisiana.

The customer was taken to a local hospital and treated for his injuries, New Iberia Police said.

The shocking scenes on May 5 erupted after the petrol station worker allegedly asked the customer to count the money he was handing over to the cashier.

In the clip, the customer gets angry at Ahmed's request and punches the plexiglass divider above the cash register.

The customer can be heard telling the cashier to "shut the f*** up" as Ahmed then walks out from behind the counter armed with a full bottle of red wine and starts swinging.

The unknown person filming can be heard saying "get out of here boy" as he laughs and gasps at the shocking scenes.

He then hits the customer on the head with the bottle of wine - but it doesn't break.

The customer, who is wearing a dark tank top with black jeans and baseball cap, tries to swing back with this black shopping bag.

The customer then grabs Ahmed's throat while still holding a black shopping bag with his other hand.

At his moment, Ahmed then hits the customer one more time with the red wine bottle causing it to shatter on his head.

Red wine is seen splattering everywhere on the displays and the floor as the two men don't stop fighting.

The petrol station employee, who is also wearing a black shirt and jeans with a dark hat, then punches the customer again.

The customer tried to swing again with his black bag before he is tossed out by the employee.

At this moment, the video comes to an end.

The store owner declined to press charges against the customer, it has been reported.
