When the man noticed that he was being filmed, he addressed the camera to explain why he was destroying the phones.

“Apple is a company that violated European consumers’ rights. They refused to reimburse me,” he said.

“I told them: ‘Give me my money back’. They said no. So you know what is happening? This is happening!” he shouts, before swinging his steel ball down upon the screen of another iPhone.

The man was arrested. IANS
