It shows a security guard and two other staff at the store entrance watching an irate man outside.
The startled staff then take cover as the security guard backs away from the entrance saying “Call the police, call the police.”
He then deftly catches a red plastic crate and metal shopping basket that are thrown through the entrance, as reported by Need To Know.
Bizarrely the security guard then appears to throw the metal basket back at the assailant.
Another red plastic crate is then launched into the store.
The security guard and another male member of staff fling another plastic crate and metal basket at the unseen attacker.
A final crate and a much larger metal container then get thrown into the store.
The clip ends with bemused staff standing around looking at the basket strewn entrance.
It happened at the Finsbury Park store, north London.
It is not known what triggered the row which happened on Tuesday (6 May).
Tesco apologized for the behaviour of the staff and is looking into it.
A spokesperson said: “We’re investigating what happened here as the conduct does not meet the high standards we set ourselves and we apologise for this.”
Locals were left stunned.
Daniel Rozario said: “Unbelievable madness.”
Another added: “Why didn’t they shut the door?”
While another added: “I thought really good of the security guy for trying to defend the store.
“Am I wrong?
“It can’t carry on like this?
“Greggs gets robbed all the time, the biggest retailers can’t keep taking these hits, the honest UK people are paying in the end with higher retail prices.”
And another said: “Can’t do your shopping in the UK now without using your self defence skills.”
