Britain’s shopping districts hit chaos mode, as police were called to assist with several out-of-control Black Friday shoppers who came to fisticuffs with each other over bottom-basement priced products.
On top of that, the heavy online presence of Internet shoppers actually crashed several websites, The Associated Press reported.
Greater Manchester police said they’ve arrested at least two, and several others have been reported injured in the melee. At one point, police even sent out a desperate tweet, AP reported: “Keep calm, people!”
The shopping chaos spread to several spots, including Wales and Scotland, AP reported.
