A McDonald's customer in London captured the moment two customers launched a furious tirade at staff over toilet roll in the early hours of Saturday morning (August 25).

According to the filmer, the argument between a customer and staff members started over a lack of the toilet roll in the restaurant, at Highbury Corner in Islington.

The lengthy altercation quickly escalated, with the man appearing to throw an object at staff.

The filmer wrote online: "I was in McDonald's at 1am on Saturday when the evening was disturbed by a lady in a pink romper suit shouting about the state of the toilets. Her friend started berating the staff."

Video shows the young woman and her male friend shouting at the McDonald's workers.

One customer tries to calm the man, wearing glasses and a beige tracksuit.

"I am chill," he insists, but he makes his way over towards the staff and appears to throw something at staff.

A member of staff then arrives on the scene and removes the man from the premises.

At the end of the video, the woman, seen wearing pink tracksuit bottoms, appears to be berating another female member of staff for working at McDonald's before leaving.

"At this point, the police are called, and thankfully the staff manage to get most of the troublemakers outside," the filmer wrote online. "They locked the doors, leaving me locked inside!"

The filmer said he tweeted his video to the McDonald's UK Twitter account.

"No one should have to put up with abuse like that at their place of work," he added.

I was in McDonald's at 1am on Saturday 25th August when the evening was disturbed by a lady in a pink romper suit shouting about the state of the toilets.

"There's no toilet paper!" she screamed at no one in particular.

Her friend (the man in the glasses) and started berating the staff. As the video shows he was being loud and abusive. One of the members of staff asked him to calm down and he became even more aggressive.

His friend tried to calm him down which seemed to work - he responds with the phrase 'I am chill'. However he then attempts to attack one of the members of staff, swinging what could be described as a punch.

At this point the police are called, and thankfully the staff manage to get most of the trouble makers outside. They locked the doors, leaving me locked inside! (I was able to leave via a side door).

The argument ended with the blonde haired girl swearing at the staff and screaming about 'the feds'.

No one should have to put up with abuse like that at their place of work, and the people in this video should be held to account.

I tweeted McDonalds UK the footage asking them if they were happy to see their staff treated like this. They didn't reply.
