Two suspected shoplifters were caught in a wild brawl with staffers at a besieged Yonkers supermarket that says it has already lost $34,000 to thieves this year.
The almost 11-minute clip from Shop Fair supermarket in Getty Square on Monday started with one of the accused already being pinned to the floor in one of the aisles as another was held back.
“Look what they doing! Look what they doing to my brother!” yelled the second man, wearing a blue, white and red jacket.
After counting down from five, he waded in, appearing to throw at least one punch — with staffers leaping on him and exchanging blows.

The first medical doctor to play in the NFL has returned to medicine to tackle the coronavirus.
Offensive lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif scrambled to the front lines just three months after helping the Kansas City Chiefs’ first Super Bowl victory in 50 years.
“My first day back in the hospital was April 24,” the 29-year-old guard wrote in Sports Illustrated of Friday’s first shift at a long-term care facility about an hour outside Montreal in Canada.
“I felt nervous the night before, but a good nervous, like before a game,” he said, adding the work left him “drained.”
“It’s wild to think that just 10 weeks earlier I played in the biggest game in sports.”
