WATCH: Police called to supermarket riot over discounted Nutella

Police had to intervene when a riot broke out in a shop that was selling discounted jars of Nutella.

We're all fans of the chocolate spread, but it's hard to imagine having a fight over it. But, it seems it all became too much for some shoppers who got overly competitive when the jars were reduced from €4.50 to €1.40 in an Intermarché store in France. Video footage obtained from the scene shows the absolute carnage that unfolded as people tried to stock up on Nutella. https://twitter.com/kennyLebon/status/956481551621066753?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.her.ie%2Fnews%2Fpolice-called-riot-france-nutella-yes-nutella-385775 Several people were injured and one shop assistant is believed to have received a black eye from the riot, while Police were called to try and calm the situation. One person, who was present, told French media, "They are like animals. A woman had her hair pulled, an elderly lady took a box on her head, another had a bloody hand."
