A shopkeeper has died in an attack that left one other man injured after an attack in Rotherham. Reports of a man brandishing a machete in the Eastwood area and near a Tesco store in the town centre were reported to police yesterday afternoon. A 27-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Omar Mehban, a local Conservative spokesman, said the dead man owned a local shop with his brother and was married with children.

One Twitter user tweeted: "Lunatic running through Tesco, Rotherham brandishing a huge knife, frightened the life out of our secretary. Taken out by 10 police & taser."
A Tesco spokesperson said the store was supporting police with their investigation.
