The Richland County Sheriff's Department was alerted to an incident at a South Carolina Walmart where a man was reported to be brandishing a pocket knife. However, before the authorities could arrive at the scene, a veteran subdued the perpetrator.
According to witnesses at the Walmart, the man was seen waving a pocket knife around and making threats to employees and shoppers in the self-checkout area. The Richland County Sheriff's Department was informed of the incident.
One customer, a veteran named Demario Davis, was able to subdue the perpetrator by striking him on the head, as captured on video. This caused the man to drop the knife he was holding.

"I was at the checkout when my son noticed the guy walk in with the knife open. He then proceeded to the service desk waving the knife at a few female employees. They took off running from the guy. I then asked a female employee where is security and she stated she was security," Davis said to Fox News Digital. "As I'm walking towards the area where the gentleman waving the knife is terrorizing other customers and employees, he yelled out when the cops get here I'm going to start cutting you all up."
"Another customer tried to subdue the gentleman waving the knife, but the guy tried to cut him in the face. That's when my military training kicked in and I casually walked over to the object not only to take him down but also protect myself in case I failed, but with my great military training I was able to neutralize the threat until law enforcement arrived," Davis explained.
"My first instinct was to neutralize the situation so I just casually walked over and waited until I had an opportunity to get him and I got em I guess. I’m a community person, so if I see something in the community that’s not right, with all the violence and things and attacks going on, gun violence you know, you want your people in the community to step up as well. The cops can’t do it all by themselves," Davis said.
"I have received so many heartfelt comments and compliments from civilians and veterans all over for my brave act and quick response," Davis stated.
Davis, who is a veteran, is apparently not done serving his country. Shoutout to this hero who saved people from a dangerous situation.
