It is believed that following the incident, a male suspect ran from the scene into Brudenell Road where he got into a car and made off.
DC Richard Roberts, from the South West Command, said: “This was a highly reckless attack on a shop full of customers in broad daylight which could have devastating consequences.
“I would appeal to any members of the public who witnessed the incident, saw anything suspicious in the area at around that time, or who recognise the man in the footage to come forward.”
