Hide AdPolice are appealing for a potentially key witness to come forward.
Detectives say he is aged in his sixties but possibly older, was wearing a flat cap and a lighter and darker two-tone walking-type jacket.
He was the first person to try and intervene and was involved in a sustained struggle to restrain the offender.
It is believed he was shopping with a lady with short light-brown hair who was wearing a light-coloured, possibly grey, jacket.
They appear to have left the store before the emergency services arrived.
