Recently, a video of a physical altercation filmed at a连锁 bubble tea shop in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, widely circulated on social media platforms, sparking intense discussion. In the footage, a female customer, accused by staff of her child "stealing bubble tea," becomes highly agitated—not only assaulting the staff member but also getting into a scuffle with the security guard on site. Before police arrived, she was even seen holding a knife, escalating the incident into a focal point of social concern.
The circulating video shows the conflict beginning with the staff member’s comment, “There’s a reason for her kid stealing bubble tea?” This statement instantly ignited the parent’s fury. The female customer immediately rushed at the staff member, first delivering a forceful kick, then grabbing the worker by the hair and dragging them outside the store. Although bystanders tried to intervene, the woman continued to punch and kick the staff member, creating complete chaos at the scene.

When the security guard arrived upon hearing the commotion and attempted to stop the woman from leaving, they were bitten during the struggle. The guard retaliated with a slap, further intensifying the physical confrontation. Despite efforts by others to mediate, the woman eventually sat outside the store with her two children, waiting for police to arrive. During this time, she pulled out a knife from her backpack and gripped it tightly, deterring people nearby from approaching.
After the incident gained traction online, many netizens expressed shock at the woman’s extreme behavior, arguing that even if the child was at fault, violence against the staff was unwarranted. However, some netizens also questioned the validity of the staff’s claim about the child "stealing a drink," calling for the truth to be clarified.
According to an informed source, the staff had placed the prepared drink on the counter, waiting for the customer to collect it. A child took advantage of the moment, quietly took the drink, opened it, and began drinking—prompting the staff member to loudly accuse the child. This detail became the trigger for the entire conflict.
The involved bubble tea shop is part of a chain brand in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou. Staff at the shop confirmed to the media that the incident occurred the day before. The assaulted staff member, currently unwell, is resting at home, and the specifics of their injuries have not been made public. The shop has handed the matter over to the local police station for handling and is not making any further public comments for now.
Dawan News quoted employees at the involved outlet as saying that the child suddenly ran up and took the drink. Once the parent arrived, they immediately lost control, not only assaulting the staff member but also attacking the security guard. Police stated that since the case is under investigation, they are not at liberty to disclose detailed information or the outcome of the handling process.
This incident highlights the importance of managing children’s behavior in public spaces, and also serves as a reminder to the public that when facing disputes, one should remain calm and resolve issues through rational communication—avoiding emotional escalation that may lead to more serious consequences.
