Screaming was heard as the brawl was captured on camera outside McDonald’s
The brawl took place outside the McDonald’s on Liverpool Road
A brawl broke out outside McDonald’s involving staff and customers. The incident was captured on camera at around 4.30pm on Friday, July 11, outside McDonald’s on Liverpool Road in Page Moss.
The video, shared widely across social media, shows a McDonald’s staff member in a confrontation with another man who has no top on. Other McDonald’s employees can be seen running over to intervene as shouts of “get off” can be heard.
A woman can be heard screaming throughout, with shouting back and forth between various people in the group. The male staff member can then be seen pushing the topless man away to the floor.
One man can then be heard shouting “you’re dead mate, you’re f***ing dead”. A female member of staff can also be seen in a confrontation with a member of the public, during which she can be seen hitting her in the face.
A man can then be seen running towards the woman saying: “Who the f*** are you touching? Hitting girls.”
The members of the public involved in the brawl, consisting of men and women, are then separated from the staff members by two men who tell them to get back in the restaurant. Merseyside Police officers are then seen arriving at the scene.
