Alarming moment the man pulls a machete in the store worker in Canberra

A man who pushes the machete who threatened terrified buyers within a busy Canberra shopping center is still free.

The dramatic images from the inside of Canberra Outlet Center in FYSHWICK have been thrown by the Federal Police of Australia that shows the man who blacked the great blade at 3.15 pm on Thursday.

Emergency services responded to reports that a man and a woman threatened buyers and retail staff with the weapon after the couple allegedly tried to steal some shoes.

CCTV captured several meetings between the man while holding the machete and other people inside the center.

It is understood that the couple was groking for a while before entering the retail store to allegedly steal the pair of shoes.

They were trapped in the security cameras defensive after the store staff faced them.

This led the man to remove the blade from his pants.

From there, he allegedly threatened several employees and members of the public while heading towards the exit.
