A huge brawl erupted at a McDonald’s drive-thru with staff trading blows as customers kicked and screamed and a shirtless Liverpudlian swore at staff.
Police were called to the fast food restaurant in Page Moss, Liverpool where around a dozen men a women were embroiled in the carnage.
Shocking footage shows a McDonald’s worker shout for the shirtless customer who clings onto him to ‘get off me’ as multiple people attempt to intervene.
A lady in a skirt can then be seen slapping the man multiple times before he eventually succumbs to his injuries and falls to the floor.
McDonald’s says the fight arose due to ‘antisocial behaviour’ but are working with the restaurant team to ‘remind them of the appropriate de-escalation processes’ in place.
Multiple other mini brawls are filmed going down at the same time including of a woman saying ‘stupid little b***’ amid allegations of hair pulling.
There are shouts of ‘get off me’ and ‘who the f*** are you touching’ before the sound of a police siren causes customers to disperse.
An angry woman shouts and points at staff saying ‘you better leave your job’ and ‘fat sh**’ at one of the workers.

The cause of the fight remains unclear but police can be seen handcuffing the shirtless man in the footage who shouts out even as he is led over to a police car.
The Liverpool Road outlet in Huyton currently boasts a one star rating on Tripadvisor – equivalent to ‘terrible’.
It comes as 51 of 57 people have given the restaurant the low mark.
The chain brands itself as having ‘outdoor seating’ and ‘vegetarian options’.
Google Reviews gives it a more favourable rating of three stars though there is an allegation it is ‘the most terrible McDonald’s in Liverpool’.
A McDonald’s spokesman said: ‘We are aware of the incident involving anti-social behaviour from a group of customers that has been circulating on social media.
‘The group were asked to leave the restaurant due to unacceptable behaviour. The police were called and we are supporting them with their enquiries.
‘We are also working with our restaurant team to remind them of the appropriate de-escalation processes we have in place.

McDonald’s said: ‘At McDonald’s, we have a zero-tolerance policy towards anti-social behaviour, and it is completely unacceptable to see anyone behaving in this way’
‘At McDonald’s, we have a zero-tolerance policy towards anti-social behaviour, and it is completely unacceptable to see anyone behaving in this way.’
It is not the first time a McDonalds restaurant has served as a site for conflict – in March last year two mothers duelled in Brighton as their ‘children’s food had been taken’.
The appalling scenes kicked off after the two women allegedly claimed that fast-food meals they’d ordered for their children were swiped by another customer.
Onlookers could be seen in footage attempting to break up the fight, and more concerningly, one the young children appeared to intervene in the altercation, grabbing onto his mother, in an attempt to lead her away.
Other incidents in recent years include delivery riders fighting in an east London restaurant in Dalton and even snapping each other’s helmets.
And in Manchester in 2019 a man casually filmed a mass brawl in a McDonald’s restaurant behind him while eating a cheeseburger.
Merseyside Police have been contacted for comment.
