"Yeah, I was putting the carts and then he come and give me one lick and run off," Samuel said.

The suspect was wearing dark sunglasses, a light gray hoodie jacket, blue jeans and black sneakers, police said.

Video shows the punch that knocked Samuel over, as shopping carts came down on top of him. A person with shopping bags runs around the victim and appears to knock on the automatic doors for help.

Samuel said the person who punched him has been to the supermarket before.
