A man in his late 30s was allegedly subjected to a racial assault at Tesco Finchley Central in London, after he was wrongly accused of theft. According to the filmer, the incident started when a Tesco employee suspected the man of stealing and alerted security. As the man tried to leave the store, security stopped him, leading to a heated argument. Suddenly, the security guard and the Tesco employee allegedly attacked the man, forcibly restraining him on the floor and attempting to take his bag.

Eyewitnesses report that the Tesco employee put his knee on the man's stomach, until he noticed someone filming the incident on their iPhone 13 Pro Max in HDR. Both parties called the police, who reviewed CCTV footage and allegedly found that the man had not taken anything from the store. The filmer claims that the incident was a case of racial profiling, as the Tesco employees allegedly accused the man of theft solely because of his skin color.

The incident, which occurred on Tuesday (March 7) at approximately 9 p.m. and it remains unclear whether the victim has pressed charges. Tesco has not commented on the incident at this time

I went at 21:00 at Tesco Finchley Central to buy oats for my early morning breakfast. Suddenly after 5 mins in the store I heard someone shouting so I went to see what's going on and I see this problem so I decide record all. You can see the assault of the Tesco employees against a black guy who "was stealing" and they put him down. If you see the video you can see how the white guy put his knee in the stomach and as soon as he see me recording he remove the knee! WHAT A BASTARD! Then the police arrived and saw the cameras and seems like THE GUY ISNT GUILTY!!! HE DIDNT STEAL ANYTHING!!!! It's horreandous see this happening!
