Footage has emerged of an alleged racist incident that occurred outside a supermarket in Old Street, London on Tuesday night.

The video shows two men being abusive outside the store, moments after allegedly being racist towards shop staff.

Towards the end of the video, one of the men can be seen confronting the filmer.

"The men were shouting and swearing while walking around the shop," the filmer wrote online.

"They squared up to the staff and started calling out racist remarks like 'go home', but the staff refused to get involved," he continued.

"I then walked outside where the men were getting aggressive with some members of the public."

"One of the men then came at me trying to get my phone, so I had to run away."
