Lidl is investigating a video which appears to show one of its workers striking a man with a leg of pork in Derby.

The clip seems to show a man in Lidl uniform chasing after another man, who is on a bicycle, down Nottingham Road.

In the video the staff member appears to use a leg of pork to strike the cyclist several times.

The incident was recorded over the weekend in Chaddesden.

It was uploaded to Facebook by Kiefer Bateman early on Sunday morning and has been watched at least 19,000 times.

The landscape engineer, 23, said he was in the right place at the right time to capture the incident.

He said was "a bit surprised" at how many times the video had been watched.

Mr Bateman, from Chaddesden, told the Derby Telegraph that he believed the police had been called in connection with the incident.

A spokesman for Lidl said: "Upon being notified of this incident, we immediately launched a full internal investigation."
