A Wallsend supermarket worker in his 50s was hospitalised in a critical condition after reports he was assaulted by a customer inside the store on Monday afternoon.
Several NSW Ambulance units responded to the call just after 2.30pm where, on arrival at the Koreka Street shopping village, they found the 52-year-old employee unconscious. A spokesperson for the Ambulance said the man went into cardiac arrest a short time later.
