Shoppers have clashed in supermarkets up and down the
country, including in Glasgow, London, Necastle, Cardiff and Great Yarmouth as
they desperately try to get their hands on heavily-discounted goods on Black
Friday. The websites of major chains such as Boots, Game, Currys, Argos and
Tesco have also experienced technical difficulties as shoppers frantically try
to snap up discounted items including everything from flat screen TVs and toys
to homewares and clothes. Videos have emerged showing shoppers fighting in
stores and clambering over each other amid scenes of chaos, as they desperately
try to bag cut-price goods from the shelves. Greater Manchester Police
confirmed two people had been arrested in connection with incidents at the
sales today, while Scotland Yard said officers were deployed to at least four
stores in London, including in Willesden, Surrey Quays, Edmonton and Edgware,
following reports of scuffles and crowd surges.
