From FOX Philly:

“It’s my first instinct to pull out the phone, to get it on camera,” said Mike Napolitano, of Newtown, Pa.

His quick instinct captured a brutal Black Friday brawl on tape.

Within seconds of fists flying, the video shows a girl in gray using what appears to be a stun gun on another shopper.

“You could around you all the managers were actually shutting the gates on the stores because people get nervous,” Napolitano said. “They don’t know what’s going to happen.”

He says the fight broke out around 2:30 a.m. Friday. The witness tells us it started inside of a store and then spilled out into the “red” wing of the shopping mall, quickly attracting a crowd.

“There was a baby like right in the middle of it in a stroller. It was crazy!” Napolitano said.

The video stunned shoppers who were at the mall Friday night.

“Oh snap,” said one while watching the footage.

“Oh my God!” said another.

There is nothing that sounds less sexy than 2:30 a.m. at the Franklin Mills Mall. I mean, there are probably strip clubs that have more upstanding clientele at that hour. And I can’t even blame the lady for bringing – and using – her stun gun. Hell, if you go to the Franklin Mills Mall at 2:30 a.m. on Black Friday, you should be carrying a stun gun– at the minimum. I’m not a big fan of concealed weapons, but I’d probably consider strapping a piece under a tube sock or something if I was there yesterday.

Of course, the incident, which is GOING VIRAL, as the news people like to say, was yet another excuse for Albert Breer to continue his war on Philly:

I mean … First, #SANTA, and now this: http://t.co/XMhCkDTk2D Philly and Christmas don't seem to mix well.

Breer told Kevin Negandhi of ESPN, a Philly native and defender, that he was just joking, without acknowledging the obvious fact that joking is actually trolling in this case, which is a bad look for a national writer:

@KNegandhiESPN Thanks Kevin. And I know. I just think it's funny how worked up they get over it … That part about Santa was a joke.

Stay classy, Breer.
