On Wednesday, Calgary police told Global News they aren’t able to disclose what the unnamed man said, but they did speak with him at length the day before.

It’s still unclear if any charges will be laid.

Police are still looking to speak with a fellow customer seen in the video, who was shoved when he tried to intervene in the incident.

According to a police spokesperson, investigators have tried to contact the customer multiple times, and have even visited his home, but haven’t been able to speak with him. They continue to encourage him to come forward to share his side of the story.
