Myer confirmed the store was closed for an hour.

“It all happened inside the cosmetics section of the Myer store.

“That area on one level of Myer was shut for an hour while the clean-up took place,” a spokesman said.

“Westfield worked with Myer on the clean-up before the store returned to regular trade.”

Stunned onlookers heard the man hurling abuse at staff.

“There was a guy with a massive baseball bat screaming horrendous things,” a shopper told Channel 7.

“I didn’t know what was going on but he seemed really out of it.”
