Five suspects arrested in connection with a brawl at an Asda store in Clapham Junction on Thursday night have been released on bail as a new video of the violence has emerged on social media.

The new video shows Asda staff members being attacked by a group of people dressed up in costumes – including Spider Man and Batman and Ali G.

On the video attackers can be seen throwing punches, kicking people, throwing objects in the store.

In one scene, the attackers smash a heavy object over the head of a man in a wheelchair before punching him; the man then topples to the ground.

Another shows a man dressed in a Spider Man yelling obscenities at workers and punching a female staff member to the ground.

A violent brawl is seen to break out in a stock room, where the man dressed as Spider Man can be seen punching two staff members, and hitting people with a pole.
