The emergency call 999 was triggered by shocked employees last night at around 7:15 p.m.
During the incident, a man and a woman are said to have vandalized the store, made racist insults and physically attacked horrified employees.
A video apparently shows a passerby in a hoodie grabbing a man, dragging him out of the store and throwing him on the ground outside.
A woman is then seen tripping and falling over the man lying on the ground as she leaves the store.
The man then tries to take revenge on the vigilante by attacking him on the street, but he is knocked down with one blow.
While he is lying on the ground, the man in the hoodie steps on him and pushes the woman out of the way.
He walks away as the woman appears to attack another man who happens to be passing by.
He manages to evade the attacks before another woman appears on the scene.

The two women begin to hit each other and pull each other’s hair until they fall to the ground and almost fall into oncoming traffic.
When the second passerby tries to separate the two, the man, after falling over a garbage can, remains lying on the ground and insults the group.
He then stands up and tries to hit the man, who quickly hits him a few times and throws him back to the ground.
Police confirmed they attended the incident and arrested a man and a woman.
Police confirmed that a 31-year-old woman and a 48-year-old man were later charged in connection with the disturbance.
A report is sent to the public prosecutor.
