The incident was captured on CCTV footage, which shows the man slapping both the woman and the attendant.
According to sources, the altercation began when the man demanded a refund of about GH¢65 for medication he had sent a boy to purchase on his behalf.

He then resorted to violence, assaulting both the attendant and the woman who intervened.
