This is the shocking moment a gang of youths attack a shopkeeper as he desperately tries to protect his store in south London.

The violent brawl happened at Foodway Supermarket in Streatham, south London on Saturday night and was captured on camera.

A video clip shows a group of young men and women grappling with the man working in the shop before a large-scale fight breaks out.

After hurling food at the shopkeeper the youths run off, but he manages to catch up with one of them and grabs them by the leg.

When the young man escapes again, the worker returns to the shop - only for him and his colleagues to be attacked by two women.

They punch him and wrestle him to the floor before ransacking the store, throwing food at him and running off.

It is not yet clear if anyone was arrested. MailOnline has contacted the Metropolitan Police for comment.

The mobile phone footage begins by showing men and women attacking the supermarket and aggressively throwing food at the shopkeeper.

As the shopkeeper begins to chase after the rioting youths, they start running away and manage to escape.

One employee almost catches one of the assailants and grabs him by leg. The teenager falls but then manages to make run and make getaway.

Then suddenly two older women begin attacking the shopkeeper who responds by swinging a large roll of cling film at them.

They are then seen in a heated brawl with two other male employees inside the supermarket. They ransack the store and wrestle the men to the floor.

After running after the gang, the male shop worker returns to the shop - only for him and his colleagues to be attacked by two women (one pictured)

Later the two women and the shopkeeper are seen squaring up to each other and throwing punches.

The same women are then seen standing at the front of the supermarket grabbing produce and throwing it on the floor, including a large box of bananas.

Bystanders try to intervene and stop the women from destroying the shop.

One onlooker repeatedly tells them 'Stop making this worse for yourself! Stop making this worse for yourself'

But the pair of women scream back at the onlooker: 'I don't care! I don't care!' The footage then cuts to an end.

Once inside the store the two women start punching the employees

The video was uploaded to social media last night and has received widespread condemnation.

Neighbours were shocked by the violence by the group of youths and their treatment of the shopkeeper.

@joanna.ma_ said 'These kids are scummy how you attacking man in his own shop, that's like someone attacking you in your own home'

Meanwhile @bogs_31 angrily commented 'I would've fucked em up one by one and make them pay for every orange, potato and onion. These people worked hard to build up a business. Scum bags!'

Whilst @skaur.123 wrote 'stupid little youths' and @garrrnnnnn similarly commented 'some d*ckhead youths, that's why these dumb punks are broke and useless'
