Girl screams ‘get off my dad’ as two men brawl in McDonald’s drive-thru queue ‘over taking too long to order’
- Footage of the confrontation was taken last week in Wigston, Leicestershire
- A girl can be heard shouting for the fight to stop but the two men carry on
- The brawl is eventually stopped by two security guards who intervene
A distressed girl shouted for her dad to stop brawling after a fight broke out at a McDonald’s drive-thru.
Video footage of the confrontation was taken last week in Wigston at a newly re-opened Leicestershire McDonald’s.
The drivers of two cars, a white and a black car, have got out of their vehicles and are pushing each other.
Video footage of the confrontation was taken last week in Wigston at a newly re-opened Leicestershire McDonald’s. The daughter of one of the men (pictured) got out of the car and shouted, ‘Get off my dad’
They grapple as the fight gets more and more heated and they try and land punches.
The duo continue to wrangle on the pavement while the child constantly shouts, ‘Dad,’ ‘Dad’ and then, ‘Get off my dad.’
Horns can be heard in the background and at one point the girl, from the front seat of the black car, gets out and pleads with the men to stop.
A woman comes over and tries to break up the fight but the men continue swinging punches near to the cars.
Two security guards appear and successfully bring an end to the fight as they stand between the two men who still stare at each other and appear furious.

A bystander told the Leicester Mercury that the fight started after a customer in a black car – fed up with waiting – went to a white car in front to hurry them up.
After speaking to the occupants through the window, a woman in the ‘white car got out and started shouting about how it was taking a long time for them to order because of the £25 limit and she has five kids’.
After the man from the black car reportedly said something, the man from the white car got out and, according to the bystander said, ‘Don’t speak to her like that.’

The fight comes amid chaos across the country as the fast food giant reopened 1,000 restaurants last week, with orders via McDelivery, or via one of 923 drive-thrus.
Customers were seen queuing for hours to get their hands on a Big Mac, with cars blocking off emergency vehicles in some locations.
In another heated exchange, video emerged earlier this week showing a McDonald’s worker being shoved and almost run over at a driver-thru queue, as he is harassed by two angry women.

During the incident on Saturday, at a restaurant in Enfield, north London, one of the women – clearly desperate for a post-lockdown McMeal – can be heard screaming ‘I hope you die’ at the employee.
The altercation began after the staff member refused to allow the pair to join the queue due to a build-up of traffic on the A10.
