A shocking video has captured the moment a customer was punched by security in Asda.
The 16-second clip was filmed in Asda in Stoke on Trent, Staffs.
It shows what appears to be a male customer with a small black, dog on a lead being pinned against shelves by two male security guards on either side of him.
A third worker stood in front of the customer and then appeared to punch him in the face before backing away.
The same guard then appears to move back to the restrained customer to slap him in the face.
All three security staff then lead the customer away before the clip ends.
The video, which was posted on X, has racked up more than 90,000 views, as reported by Need To Know.
A spokesman for Staffordshire police said the incident hadn’t been reported to them.
They added: “The local policing team will follow it up with ASDA to understand more about what’s happened.”
Viewers of the clip were shocked.
Peter Karis said: “Too bad he’s very likely getting the sack for that.”
Another person said: “Unfortunately the security guard may struggle to justify that use of force, as much as I sympathize, there are better ways of achieving the goal.”
While another person had sympathy with the security staff adding: “Nowt wrong with a bit of education.”
A third commenter added: “Thank you for defending the multi-million dollar company.
“Someone has to stand up for them.”
ASDA has been approached for a comment.
