South Carolina police have released bodycam footage that shows the moment an officer accidentally shot the mother of a 'drunk' man who allegedly shoplifted from a store.

According to the Greenville County Sheriff's Office, the incident occurred on October 20 at Sean Theodore Kaiser's home in Greer around 12.30pm.

Officers were called to a Spinx store where employees showed footage of an intoxicated man as he allegedly shoplifted from the business.

When police reviewed the surveillance footage, the deputy recognized the man as Kaiser.

The deputy said that officers had responded to Kaiser's home regarding a non-violent domestic situation between him and his mom earlier that day.

'Do not run away from me,' the deputy tells him. Kaiser (right) then responds: 'Do not grab me.' The two exchange words for a couple of minutes before Kaiser attempted to go upstairs

According to the sheriff's office, Kaiser's mother fled the home because he was attempting to steal money from her purse to buy more alcohol.

When the female deputy arrived to his home, she encountered Kaiser on his front porch.

She asked if he was at the Spinx earlier that morning and when he replied 'yes' she started reading him his rights.

The suspect then attempts to walk back inside the home, but the deputy grabs him by the shirt.

In the video, the deputy continues to try and stop Kaiser from entering the home and follows him inside when he doesn't comply.

'Do not run away from me,' the deputy tells him. Kaiser then responds: 'Do not grab me.'

The two exchange words for a couple of minutes before Kaiser attempted to go upstairs.

In the video, the deputy grabs his arm and they briefly struggle before Kaiser pulls from her and runs up the stairs.

'Sean don't get yourself in a deeper mess,' his mother is heard saying.

'I don't want to hurt anyone,' Kaiser tells the officer, who then grabs him by the arm and tries to arrest him.
