Shoppers ran for cover at a branch of Tesco after a man is alleged to have run up and down the aisles shouting ‘white power’.
One man was seriously injured in the incident which happened shortly after lunchtime yesterday in Mold, Flintshire.
Police arrested a 25-year-old local man on suspicion of attempted murder and a 24-year-old was taken to hospital.
Eyewitnesses described seeing the man carrying what they thought might have been a machete in one hand and a hammer in the other.
Rich Fay said: "We were in the magazine aisle and heard a loud scream which we thought, given the time, might have been some school kids or something. We hung around for a while and then heard someone shout 'white power'.
"As we went around the corner, we saw a man with a knife in one hand and something that looked like a hammer in the other that still had the tags on them".
A police spokesman said: "North Wales Police and other emergency services responded to the report of a serious assault that had taken place in Tesco's store in Mold, Flintshire.
"A 25-year-old local man was arrested inside the store on suspicion of attempted murder and has been taken to a local police station."
A Tesco spokesman confirmed they were assisting police with their enquiries and the store and petrol station were closed while enquiries took place.
