This disgraceful assault by a pair of drunk teenagers, believed to be between 16 and 19, were caught on film in Boston, Lincolnshire ganging up on and attacking a McDonald's manager after they were told to leave for picking on and shouting at staff.
Witness Jasmine Brudenell captured the fight on camera, which started when the manager tried to shield the smaller employees from the two rowdy teen thugs, and told them to leave the premise after they locked an employee in a cupboard, and 'flicked' an employee's cap.
The mother of the pair said that their father accompanied them that night, and all three of them had been drinking. Jasmine explained that the father left the restaurant and got into his truck as soon as the fight broke out.

Jasmine said: "'The tall McDonald's worker went up to them and nicely asked 'I’m going to have to ask you to leave'.
"I sensed it was going to erupt. Sometimes you can tell when someone is so drunk that there is no chance of reasoning with them."
Refusing to comply, one of the lawless teen grabs onto the manager's collar and starts throwing vicious punches. The other teen joins in on the attack, as the manager is left to fend for himself, as no one intervened to break up the fight.
"They were so intoxicated," Jasmine added, "There was no stopping this – they would have hit anyone who got in the way.
"The other side of where people were eating were kids and old people. All the other guys were friends with them and carried on laughing."
At one point, the manager was tackled to the ground, but still no one lends a helping hand.

The brawl lasts for about half a minute with the McDonald's manager holding his own against the loutish pair, finally managing to push them towards the exit before the recording ends.
The mother said that she has been receiving 'hate comments' over the incident, and begged for them to stop, saying in a Facebook post that: "I know what had happened and it is not acceptable im very sad and ashamed that my boys would do this and it will be being sorted you would appreciate the rest of the family being left out of it and for the hate comments to stop.

"They will be dealt with as will the situation. These sort of things happen every day and all get to easily forgotten but never do you think it's going to be something to do with your family !! I'm very sorry on behalf of my boys."
It is understood that the manager is not pressing charges.
Netizens are furious over both the behaviour of the unruly pair and their father - not only did he not intervene, he also walked out entirely. The bystanders who watched without helping were also criticised; one user commented: "The other people watching this should be ashamed of themselves ... not one person went to help the manager what cowards. Disgraceful."
