Authorities say Gilbertie entered the cosmetics department and started knocking down items and smashing display units.
One of the security guards confronted Gilbertie, who allegedly punched the guard and continued to throw products.
Another security guard attempted to pepper spray Gilbertie, but officials say it did little to stop the rampage.
When officers arrived at the scene, they were able to restrain Gilbertie after a brief struggle.

He is charged with two counts of third-degree assault, criminal mischief, interfering with an officer, and breach of peace.
Officers say that a security guard and another person sustained minor injuries.
This was an isolated incident, and Bloomingdale's is open for business, as is The SoNo Collection Mall.
