Photos:UK Turns Black Friday Sales To Black Friday Fight



I don't know about Nigeria but it seems this black Friday sales is becoming something else in United Kingdom according to DailyMail Scenes of violence and chaos broke out across the UK as millions of customers flooded shops and supermarkets to try and get their hands on cut-price goods during the Black friday sales.

Police were called to dozens of supermarkets as the midnight sales descended into chaos, with shoppers resorting to wrestling one another on the shop floor as they competed over discounted TVs, which had been reduced by as little as £60.

One Tesco store in Manchester had to be closed just 36 minutes after opening due to fighting, while another customer was arrested on suspicion of assault in the Salford branch after allegedly telling a staff member that he would 'smash their face in'. 

The chaos even led to one woman being injured by a falling TV, while a fight broke out when a teenage girl starting throwing advent calendars around the store.
As the discounting frenzy reached fever pitch, there were also reports of staff being left in tears, while a female staff member was apparently left with a black eye following a melée at the store in Stretford.

A senior police officer has now hit out at supermarkets for failing to have adequate security in the run-up to the Black Friday sales.
Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police Sir Peter Fahy said the mayhem which broke out overnight were 'totally predictable' but that stores did not have enough staff on duty in the run-up to the manic sales. 

He said: 'The events of last night were totally predictable and I am disappointed that stores did not have sufficient security staff on duty.
'This created situations where we had to deal with crushing, disorder and disputes between customers. It does not help that this was in the early hours when police resources are already stretched.'
