A man accused of sucker punching a shopper outside an Aldi grocery store in Lauderdale Lakes has been arrested and charged with felony battery, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.

Authorities said 45-year-old Dandrea Johnson is accused of attacking a man who was leaving the store with his service dog on October 11.

Surveillance video captured the confrontation and the moment Johnson allegedly struck the customer, knocking him to the ground and causing severe injuries that have left the victim in a coma.

Arrest made after public tips

Johnson was taken into custody on Oct. 22, after tips from media coverage of the incident led detectives to identify and locate him.

He is charged with felony battery with great bodily harm, permanent disability or permanent disfigurement, the Broward Sheriff's Office said.

In bond court, prosecutors told the judge that the victim remains hospitalized in a coma. Johnson's bond was set at $100,000.

Confrontation caught on camera

Store surveillance video shows the victim, accompanied by his service dog, exchanging words with Johnson inside the Aldi. The video then shows Johnson waiting by the store's exit before punching the man as he walked out.

The impact caused the victim to fall backward and hit his head.

Family's plea and defense claim

The victim's brother made a public plea for help in finding the attacker shortly after the incident. Authorities said that plea and subsequent media attention generated the tips that ultimately led to Johnson's arrest.

In court, Johnson's attorney claimed there was more to the altercation than what appeared on video.

"The other man had a pit bull and the pit bull attacked Mr. Johnson," the lawyer said.

Investigation continues

The Broward Sheriff's Office continues to investigate the circumstances leading up to the confrontation.

The victim's name has not been released and his current condition remains unclear.
