Police responded to the store at 6:45 p.m. Tuesday after receiving reports of a male knocking down items and punching another person in the store.

Some callers said he was destroying all of the items in the store, according to police.

Officials said a security guard approached the man, identified as Jason Gilbertie, of Norwalk, who punched and threw items at the guard and another security guard attempted to pepper spray the suspect.

Officers took Gilbertie into custody after a brief struggle, police said.
