A security guard was captured on camera apparently pushing an elderly person into a shop window at a Morrisons supermarket in Neath, South Wales. Eyewitnesses reported that the pensioner was confronted by the guard as he exited the store, triggering an alarm. The pensioner displayed his receipt to the guard, explaining that the alarm also sounded when he entered the store.
The situation escalated quickly, leading to a physical altercation between the pensioner and the guard, as recorded by a shopper named Trish Paul. The footage shows the pensioner being shoved into a glass window before both individuals fell to the ground, still entangled. Morrisons staff intervened, and the security guard reentered the store.
Morrisons has initiated an investigation into the incident, emphasizing the importance of customer and staff safety. A company spokesperson stated that they are collaborating with their security provider to address the matter promptly.
This incident follows a similar altercation at a Primark store where security guards were filmed engaging in a scuffle with a young woman suspected of shoplifting. The Primark spokesperson acknowledged the incident and reassured the public of their commitment to customer and staff safety.
