The angry man can be seen confronting the vegan campaigners, who held up screens showing animal slaughter and used the megaphones to get their point across to shoppers.

One man took direct action against the protesters, grabbing a loudhailer from an activist named Ella Wild and breaking it on the ground before walking away.

Ms Wild posted a video of the incident on her Instagram, calling the shopper who retaliated "an angry customer".

Most of the commenters sided with the shopper, with one saying: "Good man glad someone done it".

It's good that no one was hurt. Taking something from someone by force is still robbery, even if it's a thing they're using to harass other people. She committed a crime and should face the penalties prescribed by law. I'm not defending her. I agree she's worse than that guy, but he committed a crime, too. They're not mutually exclusive. It's not a one side versus the other issue. It's not okay to settle violent disputes outside the law. If people are angry that the government isn't doing its job, they should direct their anger that way rather than use it to prop up someone who lost their temper over a previously nonviolent situation.
