“There had been quite a quite a high level of interest in these particular televisions.

“The doors opened and there was a bit of a rush of some people going in, and my client was hit with a trolley by another customer and she fell to the ground in front of everyone else who was trying to enter.

“Some people just walked around her. Someone lifted a trolley up over the top of her to continue on to get their television and she sort of dragged herself up.

“There was one other customer who did assist her, but there weren’t any Aldi staff there who were providing any assistance at all.”
