"A man was arrested and is facing multiple charges after an off-duty officer working as a security guard was attacked at a Walmart in South Carolina on Thursday, WHNS reports. James Cunningham, 23, of Woodruff, had a bond hearing on Friday where Solicitor Barry Barnette was shown a video of the attack. He told a magistrate judge that he had never seen an attack like the one on the off-duty officer. In the video, a man sprints toward the officer, who is standing near the self-checkout area at Walmart around 1:30 p.m., and begins beating him. Cunningham also had a knife when he attacked the officer, according to Barnette. “He must’ve lost control of the knife and began brutally began beating the officer,” Barnette told the judge. Spartanburg police said the off-duty officer was taken to the hospital following the assault."
