The ordeal took place on April 13 at the Willow Grove Mall in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. 

Police said Abdi Wasuge of Tempe, Arizona, stole from the Apple store on the second level of the mall. When he was approached, Wasuge allegedly implied he had a gun and threatened to use it. 

Wasuge then fled the store and jumped from the second level down to the first level, police said. Video shows Wasuge landing hard on the floor and struggling to get back to his feet.Β
