’TIS SEASON TO BE SHOPPING

Brawlers’ black & blue Friday

Shoppers decked the halls — and each other — as they battled and brawled their way through stores across the country Friday.

Video footage of merchandise mayhem included two men punching and slapping each other silly as they fell to the shiny tile floor of a food court inside a mall in Louisville, Ky.

Onlookers cheered the men on, even as a female shopper got knocked down in the melee. A police officer finally rushed in and broke the fight up after about 30 tense seconds.

At a second Louisville shopping center, a dozen more men were caught on video throwing punches. It was unclear what prompted either fight.

At a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, a crowd of more than a dozen men and women warred over heavily discounted flatpanel televisions. The cellphone video clip, posted online, garnered thousands of views.

Ruben Garcia, 23, was among those angling for a TV — but wound up arrested instead.

Garcia had stepped on a female shopper as he grabbed the television she was holding, police told the El Paso Times. He then refused to give up his prize when confronted by a police officer, instead hitting the cop multiple times, police said.

Another popular clip showed a salescrazed woman pulling a boxed vegetable steamer out of the arms of a little girl at a store in Saginaw, Mich., prompting the child’s mother to scream in protest.

But instead of screaming “Hands off my kid,” the mother screamed, “Gimme that box!”

The most spectacular of Black Friday videos featured two women in a Walmart in Deer Park, Texas.

First, one woman compares the other lady’s “mama” to a female dog. The lady responds by headbutting her foe, prompting a hairpulling freeforall.

“I don’t regret what I did,” accused headbutter Jessica Albitz told the local Eyewitness News station after she was charged with assault. “I defended myself and my family.”
