This is the moment a supermarket worker violently beats up a young girl suspected of stealing and drags her off by her hair into a back room – despite her pleas that she had done nothing wrong.

Russian cops arrived at the scene later and reportedly arrested the young girl and her male companion – and it is currently unclear if they are investigating the violent supermarket staff.

The incident was filmed by a shopper in the Dixy supermarket in the western Russian region of Moscow Oblast and was later shared on YouTube where it has been viewed nearly 40,000 times.

According to local media, the alleged thief was caught with packs of butter, cheese and deodorant hidden in his pockets.

He reportedly told staff that he had no money to pay for the items and wanted to leave the store, but employees and eyewitnesses decided to keep him there and wait for the police to arrive.

When the suspect tried to run for the exit, workers and other shoppers restrained him and took him to a back room.

In the video, a male shopper in an orange jacket is seen brawling with the man before helpers arrive to push the suspect into the back room.

One female worker then violently forces the man’s companion into the same room despite her insistence that she had done nothing wrong.

Footage shows the heavyset woman kicking and hitting the suspect’s companion before dragging her towards the back room by her hair.

Local media said that the police arrived on the scene and arrested the couple, although it is unclear whether the supermarket staff will be investigated for their reportedly violent actions.
