CCTV footage from Ninth Lock Autos garage in Clondalkin, county Dublin, shows the employee named Gerrard boot the back of the shopping trolley – which flips up and smacks him in the face.
The rogue trolley had blown into the car park last Monday, damaging one of the vehicles and prompting Gerrard to lash out in anger.
