Michael, who filmed the footage, told Metcalfe that a mother had been hurt by a teenager he accused of shoplifting.Rohany, 41, said she saw teenagers stealing products and felt sorry for the security guard who was being physically and verbally abused.
"The investigation into a report of assault and shoplifting is subject of a live investigation, and the victim has been contacted by officers."
