Moment gang of thugs brawl with security guard inside north London Lidl supermarket

New video shows the moment a fight breaks out between a gang of thugs and staff at a Lidl supermarket in north London.

The fight began at the entrance of a store in Finsbury Park on Tuesday, when a staff member in his 30s and a security guard in his 20s were allegedly attacked by a group of ‘thieves’.

Footage recorded by an eyewitness shows a security guard standing over a hooded thug while two other men begin punching a staff member.

As the security guard chased the attackers outside the shop, all five members of the group targeted him.

There, young men surrounded him, throwing punches and bottles at him, as a bystander pleaded for him to calm down.

The security guard retreated into the supermarket, clutching his face in pain, as the young men continued to angrily shout at him.

Later, medical teams arrived at the scene and treated two slightly injured employees.

The Metropolitan Police are trying to find those responsible for the fight.
