The crowd that was drawn to the Apple store in downtown San Francisco on Tuesday saw more than the unveiling of the new MacBook when this man was tackled by Apple security.
The suspect entered the Apple store and allegedly tucked several iPod accessories into his coat and headed for the door, where he was confronted by security employees (in white shirts) and others.
The suspect tried to run, but a brief scuffle ensued and he was eventually tackled. He was then led back into the store and whisked away behind the scenes.
