A large-scale brawl involving teenagers broke out at a busy McDonald’s<\/a> as dozens of youngsters were caught trading blows.<\/p>\n

The police were called to the restaurant<\/a> in Longtown Road in Dundee after an alert was raised around 10.30pm on Saturday, February 7. The shocking incident was caught on video as the young thugs began beating each other up.<\/p>\n

The footage shows approximately a dozen school-age teenagers shouting and trading blows. An older man in a high-visibility jacket is seen attempting to intervene and stop the fight.<\/p>\n

Some of the youngsters can be heard yelling “stop”, followed by a chilling cry of “kill the f****r”. Stunned families dining at the restaurant watched in disbelief as the chaos unfolded.<\/p>\n

The extent of any injuries sustained during the scrap remains unknown at this time, reports the Daily Record<\/a>. A 13-year-old boy has been arrested and charged with assault in relation to the incident.<\/p>\n
