Footage captured at the fast food branch shows the fuming man appear to throw an object at one of the servers, before climbing over the counter and running into the kitchen.
The man then tries to throw a punch at one of the kitchen staff.
Another member of staff can be seen trying to pull him away, and calm the customer down before he attempts to throw some more punches.
One appears to use a tray to try and defend himself, while two other staff members attempt to hold the customer back.
But the brawl seems to escalate even further, as the angry starts encroaching on the original worker he threatened.
The customer can then be seen tackling the worker to the ground.
His colleagues rush in the help, with two of them managing to pull the man back by his shirt.
A female worker at the end of the video can be heard saying: "Can you help us please?
"Driver, please.
"Driver, can you help us," as various delivery drivers can be seen in front of the counter watching the conflict unfold.
Moment McDonald's worker SLAPS yob across head before brawl breaks out as group storm restaurant
A McDonald's spokesperson said: "The safety and security of our people and our customers is our utmost priority it is completely unacceptable to see anyone behaving this way.
"We have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to violent and anti-social behaviour, and we are currently assisting the Police with their enquiries."
Metropolitan police have been approached for comment.
This kind of incident is not rare to McDonald's fast food chains, as just last month another violent incident that occurred between a worker and customer was captured on video.
Multiple workers and customers were seen involved in the brawl that occurred at a McDonald's in Merseyside.
The month prior, a group of youths were also captured in a mass brawl with a McDonald's staff member at a branch in Dalston, East London.
In the footage captured, the yobs can be seen forcing entrance into the fast food restaurant, before one staff member appears to retaliate by slapping one of the teenagers across the face.
Another incident saw a mass brawl break out in a McDonald's car park near Finsbury Park in North London.
It occurred between delivery drivers and members of public.
These incidents come amid rising anti-social behaviour in the hospitality and retail sector across the country.

Labour police boss blasted after handing £5k of taxpayers' cash to help save Liverpool Pride

A Labour Police and Crime Commissioner has been criticised after it emerged she handed over £5,000 of taxpayers' cash for a gay pride march – just weeks before a High Court judge ruled that allowing uniformed police officers to take part in such a parade was biased and unlawful. Emily Spurrell, a former councillor and PCC for Merseyside, made the donation of public money to 'save' Liverpool Pride, which was under threat because of a shortage of funds. The cash from her office – which was the top donation of any organisation or individual – helped the event to go ahead as planned, on July 26. But just days earlier Northumbria Police was admonished by the High Court for allowing uniformed police officers to march under a Progress flag promoting transgender ideology at a pride march last year. In his ruling, Mr Justice Linden said it was 'contrary to the uniformed officers' duties of impartiality', as well as Northumbria Chief Constable Vanessa Jardine's 'own duty of impartiality, to participate in the 2024 march, in Newcastle, in the way that they did.' His judgement had immediate repercussions for police forces nationwide, with some opting to ban their officers from marching and taking part in such future events – unless policing it in an official capacity. Yesterday critics said Ms Spurrell's decision to make the donation when the High Court case was 'on the horizon' was 'an extraordinary misuse of public funds' and 'simply stupefying.' Sarah Pochin, Reform UK MP for nearby Runcorn and Helsby, said: 'The Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner's £5,000 donation to Liverpool Pride is an extraordinary misuse of public funds. 'With rising crime and anti-social behaviour, taxpayers want to see safer streets not political gestures.' Another outraged local told the Mail: 'When other forces are following the ruling and making cancellations in relation to Pride events – the Merseyside PCC was shelling out thousands - that's in no way impartial. 'The decision to make the donation when that High Court case was on the horizon was simply stupefying.' Under police regulations, which are set out in legislation, officers have a duty to act with impartiality and must avoid activities likely to interfere with the impartial discharge of their duties. Allowing Northumbria police officers to march in Newcastle's 2024 Pride in the City parade, and to staff a police stall decorated in the colours of the Progress flag, alongside a van painted in the same design, breached that duty, the judge found. He agreed with lawyers for Linzi Smith, a lesbian who brought the case against the Northumbria force, that when police officers appeared in uniform or under official branding while displaying the Progress flag, it suggested an alignment or support for gender ideology or transgender rights. The Progress Pride flag is a variation on the original rainbow banner adopted by gay rights campaigners in the 1970s. It has extra colours to represent trans and non-binary people, as well as people of colour and those living with Aids. Soon after the ruling, Chief Constable Tim Forber, of neighbouring North Yorkshire police, said any officers from his force who wished to participate in such parades, who were not officially on duty or 'actively engaged in policing the event,' would not be permitted to wear uniform. 'Participating in protest activity, or parades that support any 'cause' can quite rightly undermine the public's confidence in that impartiality,' he said. 'I do not allow the altering of police uniform or the changing of the livery of police vehicles to show support for any cause.' Similarly, Greater Manchester Police officers were also told they will not be able to take part and 'represent the force' at this year's Manchester Pride parade later this month. In a letter to staff, Assistant Chief Constable Stephanie Parker said the High Court ruling had concluded that 'such participation could reasonably be perceived by the public as the police taking a side in ongoing societal and political debates.' She specifically highlighted gender identity and 'related issues' in the correspondence. While GMP 'remains steadfast in its commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion' and 'would continue to support LGBTQ 'colleagues and communities', Ms Parker said they also needed to 'uphold the principle of operational impartiality'. The senior officer added that staff will continue to be able to attend Manchester Pride 'in a personal capacity' and encouraged 'everyone to continue celebrating and supporting our diverse communities'. 'We understand this may be disappointing to many, but this decision has been made to ensure we remain compliant with legal expectations and maintain public confidence in our impartiality,' she added.

Arrested Palestine Action protesters were let go immediately

The Metropolitan Police said it faced 'entirely unrealistic' challenges in policing a protest in support of Palestine Action at which more than 500 people were arrested. Activists who were detained on suspicion of terror offences were later bailed on the spot, leaving overwhelmed officers unable to stop them from returning to the protest. Palestine Action said the protest was a 'momentous act of collective defiance' as police were forced to arrest 532 people, including 15 over 80 years old and 112 over 70, on suspicion of showing support for a proscribed organisation. Under the law, support for the group can lead to a prison sentence, although most of those arrested are expected to be fined. To prevent police stations being overwhelmed with arrested protesters, the Met implemented a 'street bail' system, which has previously been used at large environmental protests.

Luxury watch dealer that counts Premier League stars including Wayne Rooney as clients goes bust with £1m of debts

A LUXURY watch dealer who counts Premier League stars among his clients has gone bust with debts of nearly £1million. Josh Bardsley — brother of ex- Man United player Phil — set up Avant-Garde Global in 2018 and built up a celebrity client list. 3 3 But his company, which owed £949,984, was wound up in the High Court in June last year. A source said: 'Josh has been keeping a low profile. "There's quite a few people keen to find him as they want to know what has happened to their money. 'Some of his footballer mates gave him a leg-up financially. "But no one knows where he is. "The players are angry that he's betrayed their trust.' Josh was said to have used his football links to build up his business, supplying high-end watches. He was pictured in 2020 delivering a £50,000 Rolex to his brother's close pal Wayne Rooney. The crash comes as Phil and wife Tanya star in ITV reality show The Bardsley Bunch. Josh last night denied any wrongdoing and insisted he remained on good terms with brother Phil.
