Man headbutts Co-op customer 'after he threatened staff with assault for following him'

A man has been caught on camera headbutting a supermarket customer as he walked out of a shop.

The shocking clip shows a man in a black polo shirt headbutt another man, who was allegedly threatening staff at a Co-op store in Poole, Dorset.

The man, who was left with a bloody nose, apparently became irate after being followed around the store by shop workers.

In the video, a man wearing a white t-shirt and tracksuit is seen squaring up to another, who speaks with a Scottish accent.

A woman is heard shouting in the background trying to diffuse the situation. 

One of the men can be heard saying: “What just because you are Scottish you think you are bad. I will f**k you up!”

The man in black suddenly lunges forward with his head, cracking the man on the nose.

The woman then exclaims: “Oh f*****g hell, call the police!”

Blood begins to run down the man's nose, who appears unmoved by the incident.

The man with the Scottish accent said: “Don’t threaten me. Don’t f****** threaten me!”

The bleeding man then says on camera: “I will put a Stanley blade in your throat now c**t.”

The woman standing at the store entrance says: “I’ll tell you what just back off, leave please.

The man picks up his bag and says: "F*****g pathetic man.”

The man in black reiterates to the customer: “Don't threaten me, don’t threaten staff. None of this is okay. Do one.”

The man adds: “I’ve been in this shop yeah, and I have been followed about for no f*****g reason.

"Just because I am wearing this.”

The woman near the door is then heard saying: “I told you why he is a security guard and that is what he does.”
