A police probe has been launched after a boy was seen "hysterically begging for his life" while being chased through a supermarket by a knife-wielding gang.
Shoppers at the Lidl store in Blackpool said it was "the most terrifying thing you could imagine".
The victim, believed to be around 16 years old, ran into the shop at around 2.30pm on Monday "screaming for help", Lancs Live reports.
