Mohamed Nassar, a Tesco security guard, is critically ill in hospital after a choking incident at a Tesco Express store in Salford. Multiple reports say he was on duty at the time, while his family also describe that he began choking while on a break inside the store. The accounts state that he suffered a cardiac arrest following the choking. One report says his heart stopped for about 23 minutes, while another characterises the injuries as “brain damaged” and reports that he remains in critical condition.

The reports agree on the broad timeline: Nassar chokes during his shift, the incident leads to a cardiac arrest, and he is taken to hospital. Both outlets present the case through the family’s description and medical outcome, with no additional details across sources about the specific circumstances of the choking, the response time on site, or any ongoing investigation. The incident is therefore reported as an emergency medical event affecting a member of Tesco’s security team at the Salford store.
