“The man was left in a bad way. All us shoppers were left traumatised by it all, so we made sure he got home safe.”

South Yorkshire Police have said its officers “were called to Aldi at St James' Retail Park at 3.33pm on Sunday 14 November to reports of an altercation after an alleged shop lifting.”

However, the force said that as the store is not wanting to pursue criminal proceedings the investigation has been filed.

Aldi has been contacted for comment.
