Shoppers at a busy Sydney Woolworths were left shaken after a man allegedly "exploded" at fellow customers who "politely" asked him to wear his mask properly.

The North Shore Times reports police were called to Neutral Bay Woolworths yesterday afternoon after a man was seen yelling at shoppers.

"It was quite disturbing – a gentleman said to this guy politely, 'Mate do you mind putting your mask over your face', and the response was he basically exploded like a firecracker," a witness told the newspaper.
