ONE in three Asda workers have been attacked at work, including incidents of being stabbed, punched and threatened with syringes by customers, a GMB survey revealed today.

Workers told of being spat at, suffering broken bones, being hit with bottles and receiving death threats against them and their children.

Delivery drivers said they have been chased by people in cars and confronted by naked customers, while store workers have had watermelons and joints of gammon thrown at them.
