Mr Williams took to Facebook to describe the incident to Domino's Pizza UK and alleged he was attacked after complaining about missing toppings.

He wrote: "Thank you Domino's for the personal attention of your manager last night in the Exeter Cowick Street branch, you do not expect your managers to come to your house and beat you wearing a crash helmet and full motorcycle gear if you complain of missing toppings."

In response to Mr Williams' post, Domino's UK replied: "As this is now a current police investigation there is very little we can publicly say on this matter. However, please rest assured we are taking this incident extremely seriously and will be providing the police with our full co-operation. Please do continue to stay in touch with your contact in our customer careteam at head office and rest assured, we will do everything possible to ensure this situation is properly resolved."
