A gymgoer has been filmed allegedly punching a woman in the face after she dropped her weights and refused to pick them up.
Shocking CCTV footage shared yesterday (10 November) shows the pair embroiled in a heated confrontation at a fitness centre.
The woman – who was helping her friend on the shoulder press – is seen discarding the weights on the floor after her pal finishes her set.

A man who had been working out nearby then squares up to her as he points to the dumbbell rack.
Suddenly, the row turns violent as the man pushes her and unleashes two punches, sending her crashing to the ground, as reported by Need To Know.
Other gym users rush over as the confrontation unfolds, with several trying to intervene.
The footage has sparked debate online, with some viewers criticising the woman for failing to put the weights away properly.
Others condemned the man’s decision to resort to violence over the disagreement.
The incident happened at a gym in China, though the exact gym and province have not yet been identified by local media.
Putting your weights back is one of the most important rules of gym etiquette. It makes it easier for other gym users to find equipment and is considered a sign of respect.
A similar gym-rage incident was reported in September when a male gym member in Bengaluru, India, lost his temper after asking to alternate sets during peak hours.
He was seen forcefully ripping a 20kg plate from the equipment and hurling it on the floor – narrowly missing a female gymgoer as she scrambled to escape.
Another video emerged recently of a woman being attacked with a yoga ball after a man became upset with her exercising in “his space”.
