This is the shocking moment a female McDonald's customer is body slammed by a security guard following an alleged row over consuming chips inside the branch.
The disturbing footage was captured outside the restaurant at St John's in Leeds, West Yorkshire, on Saturday night.
The bust up is said to have happened after the doorman ejected her for eating in the queue.
A group of male strangers are then seen trying to calm the situation before it explodes into violence.
After making public the footage, one of the girls, who asked to remain anonymous, said: "Would never normally do this but the kind of stuff bouncers get away with is honestly disgusting.

A group of men jumped in to defend her outside the branch"This was after my friend had been told to leave because she was eating some chips in the queue and we said can she stand to the side instead of outside on her own at night.
"The girl on the left, asked outside why she had to leave and the security guard on the right pushed her over and was verbally aggressive calling us 'b***hes", 'sl*ts and 'sl*gs and pushed her over.
"Fortunately, some strangers attempted to defend us resulting in this.
"Multiple times they tried to stop him and he continued to be physically aggressive even when no one attempted to lay their hands on him.

"I dread to think what would have happened if me and my friend were on our own and these guys hadn't stepped in."
A McDonald’s spokesperson told Mirror Online: "The safety and security of our people and customers is our absolute priority, and we have asked the security company that employ the security guards to fully investigate the incident.
"We understand that the video clip in question shows only a small portion of a protracted incident.”

"I have seen them assault people for no reason some people do get a little out of control when they're drunk.
"But isn't that's part of their job to deal with people like this and not resort to violence?"
In the footage, the girl appears to be walking away when she is assaulted.
Another wrote: "I hope this has been reported to the police and a complaint made to McDonald's and whoever these guys work for.
"Should definitely lose his license and the other one should be pulled over the ropes for allowing his work colleague to basically assault however many people. There was no need for these assaults to happen. Totally out of line !!!"
