The footage was shot this morning in the Tesco Metro in Monument
THIS is the dramatic moment Tesco staff were filmed manhandling a suspected shoplifter into the back room of a store.
The footage was shot this morning in the Tesco Metro in Monument and shows a member of staff allegedly shouting "shut your f***ing mouth", as the man is seemingly bundled from the main part of the store.
As he is detained in the back room of the shop someone can be heard yelling "sit on the f***ing floor".
The footage was posted on Twitter by @darealkai who said he was "ashamed" to have witnessed it.
In it the man is seen to struggle against the two men, who appear to force him to move into the back room.
The city worker, Kyle Tibby, said he was buying his lunch in Tesco when he saw the apparent scuffle between the man and staff.
He said: "I witnessed the gentleman try to steal a bottle of alcohol and so did the Tesco staff, and he tried to walk out the door with it and the Tesco staff stopped him at the door.
"There were about four or five who surrounded him and dragged him on the floor.";
He also alleged the man was kicked and punched, but this is not clear from the video.
A Tesco spokesperson said: “We contacted the police following an incident in our Monument store, and are supporting them with their enquiries.”
This week it was reported Tesco is launching a ‘quiet hour’ scheme in a bid to support autism sufferers while they shop.
And a woman was seen getting around a lack of trolleys in a store.
