Inquiries by the Met Police are going, but no arrests have yet been made.

The victim’s injuries are believed to be “non threatening and non life changing”.

An Asda spokesperson told the East London Advertiser: “We are in contact with our colleague and are providing ongoing support to him.

“Our thoughts are with him, as well as any colleagues or customers that witnessed this incident.

“Next week marks Respect for Shopworkers Week, and this incident further highlights the urgent need for stronger protections for retail workers.

“We continue to advocate for acts of violence or abuse against retail workers to be recognised as a standalone criminal offence. No colleague should come to work in fear of being attacked.”
