Two teenage girls face charges following an incident that led to a lockdown at a Woolworths store in Brisbane.
The pair, aged 14 and 15, are accused of creating a disturbance at the Woolworths in Keperra around 3 p.m. yesterday.
According to witnesses, the commotion included allegations that a manager was struck with a bottle, and an unsuspecting shopper was inadvertently involved in the fray.
Authorities apprehended the teenagers, who now face several charges, including common assault.
A heavily pregnant woman recounted to 9News that a glass bottle was thrown from a shelf and shattered nearby, adding to the chaos.
In a statement to 9News, Woolworths emphasized its zero-tolerance policy towards violence and dangerous behavior within its stores.
Footage from the scene captured alarms sounding and a warning to evacuate the store.
The Keperra store re-opened today after a massive clean-up last night.ÂÂ

The 15-year-old is set to face court again on Wednesday.
