A group of rioting youths were barricaded out of a McDonald’s after terrorising staff and customers.

Shocked customers watched on as the chaos, captured on video, unfolded.

It comes as the fast food chain announced a ban on unaccompanied under-18s from their restaurant after 5pm due to a spate of attacks on staff.

Sunday’s incident, at a McDonald’s in Chatham, Kent, saw youngsters climbing tables and spitting towards overwhelmed workers.

Some even popped children’s balloons amid the carnage.

Staff were eventually able to block the youths from re-entering the store after barricading the door.

A customer, who did not want to be named, spoke out about the shocking experience.

The woman said: ‘The kids were climbing up and down the stairs, picking up wet floor signs and hitting the floor with them.

‘They were also throwing sauces from the second floor. The group even started on an Uber delivery guy.

‘He got involved after the youths confronted a female worker who asked them to leave.’

She described how a young girl, who could be seen in the three-minute clip, spat on a male staff member, while others in the mob were captured climbing on tables and popping children’s balloons.

The viral footage received a huge response on social media, with many criticising the shocking behaviour of the youngsters.

One user said: ‘I would be absolutely mortified if that was my son. He would be in there cleaning the tables and toilets by way of an apology that’s for sure.

‘I am lucky that I know my boy wouldn’t be one of those kids.’

Another person described the injustice against the McDonald’s team.

She said: ‘It’s so unfair on the staff. They really don’t get paid enough to have to do their job and babysit a bunch of disrespectful teens that think they can do what they want when they want.’

Towards the end of the video, which can’t be fully published due to the ages of those involved, staff could be seen barricading the doors with a food sign.

One girl even kicked at the sign as a worker grasped onto it.

A spokesman for McDonald’s told Metro.co.uk: ‘We are aware of an incident which took place at our Chatham restaurant and we are supporting the police with their investigation.

‘We have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to anti-social behaviour both in and around our restaurants and we want to thank our team who acted quickly and professionally to ensure that our restaurant remained a welcoming and friendly environment for all.’
