The 999 alarm was raised at around 7.15pm last night by shocked staff.

A man and a woman allegedly trashed the shop, racially abused and physically attacked horrified staff during the incident.

A video appears to show a passer-by in a hoodie grabbing a man and pulling him out of the shop before throwing him on the ground outside.

A woman is then seen stumbling and falling over the man on the floor as she leaves the shop.

The man then tries to get back at the vigilante by attacking him in the street, but he is floored with one punch.

While he is on the ground, the man in the hoodie kicks 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 avoid getting hit before another woman appears on the scene.

The two women begin throwing punches and pulling each other’s hair as they fall to the ground, almost spilling into oncoming traffic.

As the second passer-by tries to separate them, the man lies on the ground after falling over a bin and hurls abuse at the group.

He then gets up and tries to punch the man, who quickly gets a few blows in and puts the man back on the floor.

Police confirmed that they attended the incident and a man and woman were arrested.

The force confirmed that a 31-year-old woman and a 48-year-old man were later charged in connection with the disturbance.

A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 7.15pm on Saturday, 24 August, 2024, we were called to an ongoing incident where a man and a woman were causing a disturbance within a takeaway shop in Causeyside Street, Paisley.

“Officers attended and a 31-year-old woman and a 48-year-old man were arrested and charged in connection and will be the subject of a report to the Procurator Fiscal.”
