This is the shocking moment a thug in a Spider-Man outfit punches a female Asda worker in the face while a prankster mob storms the store to ’cause chaos for likes’.
Footage shows the female employee grappling with a girl before the costumed man lands a kick and a punch – knocking her straight to the floor of the supermarket branch in Clapham, south London, last night.
The clips are understood to have been linked to a verified account by a rapper named Tyrone, who recently won a local hero award from BBC Music.
The TikTok stunt was associated with a group called Live Madness Replays, who describe themselves on Instagram as carrying out pranks ‘for entertainment purposes only’.
Live Madness directed its 1,834 followers to a ‘burner account’, which has since been removed and was said to be hosting a live feed of the brawl.
Five people have been arrested and remain in custody following the incident, which left six people injured, said police.
