A man was seen fly-kicking a woman during a three-person brawl outside a Georgia mall on the first day it reopened amid the coronavirus pandemic.  
Footage of the incident has caused some to question if Gov. Brian Kemp reopened the state's economy prematurely.     
Cell phone video of the brawl was taken outside the Cumberland Mall on Tuesday in Atlanta, Georgia.
The man who recorded the incident told CBS 46 that the women involved were initially arguing in the food court before it spilled into a parking lot.

The exact reason the women were arguing is unclear. 
Footage from the scene begins with three women involved in a scuffle. Two of the women wrestle on the ground while a third yanks at one woman's hair.
A security guard attempts to break up the fight to no avail.
'Get off, or I’ll have to pepper spray both of you,' said the security guard, who is seen wearing a mask to protect against the coronavirus.
A man in a sports jersey suddenly jumps into frame and fly-kicks the third women, striking her on her thigh and knocking her over.

'What's wrong with y'all, man?' he asked the group. 
The man then shoves the security guard out of the way and helps one woman up. 
It does not appear that any of the people involved suffered severe injuries. 
Before that, the man was reportedly apologizing to two other women off camera when the brawl grew intense. 
Now, Georgia residents are questioning if local malls and other retailers reopened their doors too soon. 
'If people don’t know how to come out their home and act while they’re in public then stay home cause that is what’s recommended. Stay home, this is a stressful time, so stay home,' one shopper said.
Users on Twitter agreed, with some saying the video proved Georgia was 'getting back to normal.'

'Just searched "Cumberland Mall" on here and honestly, Atlanta needs to stay in for couple more months,' one woman said. 
The video was shared to Twitter and quickly went viral with 6.8 million views. The phrase 'Cumberland Mall' was also trending on Wednesday.  
Gov. Kemp announced that Georgia would reopen its economy despite fears of a second wave of COVID-19 from public health experts. 
Phase One began April 24 and allowed some businesses, like hair salons, to reopen. 

The majority of Atlanta-based malls reopened Monday. Cumberland Mall opened Tuesday.
Georgia has more than 30,000 confirmed coronavirus cases and at least 1,305 deaths.  
A new report from the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, released Monday, has now warned that the pandemic is far from over for Georgian residents.
The shock estimates reveal that the metro Atlanta area and other populous regions of Georgia are among the areas of highest risk nationwide of facing a renewed spike in cases and deaths.
