Two Aldi workers have been suspended from work after a video on social media appeared to show an assault outside a store in Nottinghamshire. Concern has been expressed over CCTV footage that appears to show an alleged altercation between two workers and a customer after an incident.
The incident is understood to have taken place in Woodborough Road, close to the Aldi supermarket in Mapperley, on the morning of Saturday, May 13. The video shows two men, believed to be employees at the supermarket, leading another man away from the store and into an alley where an alleged altercation then occurs.
Regarding the incident, an Aldi spokesperson said: “Aldi does not tolerate aggressive or violent behaviour, and both individuals have been suspended from work.” Nottinghamshire Police is currently investigating what happened.

Inspector Steve Dalby, District Commander for City South, said: “Officers are currently investigating an alleged assault after we were made aware of a reported shoplifting offence and social media video circulating online. The CCTV footage is distressing to watch, but I want to assure the community we are aware, and our officers are working hard to determine exactly what happened.
"A 61-year-old man has attended a voluntary interview in connection with the incident. I want to remind the public that it is our job to police and not to take matters into your own hands.
"If you are the victim of a crime or witness please contact the police either by calling 101, or in an emergency always dialling 999. This remains an ongoing investigation and anyone with any information is asked to call 101, quoting incident number 163 of 13 May 2023, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
