Videos posted to YouTube show a 6-year-old boy punching, kicking and hitting a pinned woman in the head with a shampoo bottle in front of stunned shoppers.
A videotaped fight between two women at a Beech Grove, Indiana, Walmart spun out of control Thursday when a 6-year-old boy joined the brawl in the store's shampoo aisle.
In cell phone videos uploaded Friday to YouTube, two women are heard arguing in the store before punching and wrestling each other to the ground. A young boy is then seen joining the fight, punching, kicking and hitting one of the women over the head with a bottle of shampoo in front of stunned shoppers.
Police said an argument started between one of the women and a Walmart employee over shopping carts when a second woman got involved and "it escalated into a fist fight," WTHR-TV reported.
"Johnny, punch her in her fucking face!" one of the brawling women is heard telling the child standing over the two struggling on the ground.
As the fight continues unabated, a bystander raises her voice and tells the boy to stop kicking the pinned woman or he'll be forced to "go to little boy jail."
"You can't tell me to stop!" the boy replies, charging at the group of onlookers. "Do not even tell me what to do!" Other shoppers can be heard debating whether to get involved but ultimately decide not to.
"I don't think you can touch them though because you will be involved in a lawsuit, the way shit is these days," one woman says off camera.
The fight goes on for several minutes and store security officers are not seen.
A Walmart spokesman told The Blaze store management responded to the fight by calling police.
"I believe police showed up about eight minutes after," Aaron Mullins said.
Walmart policy prohibits security from interfering with physical confrontations, the spokesman said, adding that store employees were stationed near the fight to "monitor and make sure customers were safe."
Officials may file charges against the two women and are considering whether to involve the state's Department of Child Services in their investigation, police told WXIN-TV.
Walmart and Beech Grove police did not immediately respond to BuzzFeed News requests for comment.
