Police are appealing for information following the incident on Thursday night.

The three men are said to have entered the shop in Shakespeare Road, Gillingham , at around 8.45pm.

They had a verbal dispute with a member of staff and another shopper.

The customer, a man in his 30s, then left the shop but was followed by the trio.
