I was at the shopping centre earlier, paying for stuff at the fruit shop. I hear all this yelling and see a guy going nuts from a security guard confronting him over stealing something from a store. He starts shouting and causing destruction - knocking store displays over, hitting fruit and vegetables from displays onto the ground and was coming closer to me. I turn around and start pushing my trolley back from the register to get away from him. While I was turned around he picked up a giant pumpkin from a display next to the register and threw it right at the back of my head. This was a massive grey pumpkin, like a rock to the head. Now Iโ€™m sitting here with an ice pack to my head wondering why me. Thankfully no bleeding and I feel ok so far, just sore.

I reported it to centre management and made myself known to the police before I left. Surely this is some kind of assault.

How awful! That would have been so frightening, I hope you are doing ok.
