One witness told the Yorkshire Evening Post: ‘A customer stabbed himself…they closed the store as police and ambulance were there and there was blood everywhere.

‘Not a nice sight to see up there. It was shocking for staff to see.’

The shop was briefly closed but has since reopened and staff are being told to come into work as normal.
