McDonald’s security guard kicks man in head as he cowers on ground after ‘abusing staff and throwing bottle’

A MCDONALD’S security guard is captured on camera kicking a man in the face as he lay on the ground.

Shocking mobile phone footage shows the moment the guard rains a brutal boot down on the man outside the fast food joint in Leeds.

McDonald’s said it had launched an investigation into the"completely unacceptable" incident at the St John's Centre at around 2am yesterday.

Witnesses said the victim and two of his friends had been abusive towards security staff after they were refused entry because they appeared to be drunk.

Speaking anonymously, one man said the trio had thrown glass bottles at the door of the restaurant.

He also claimed they tried to attack one of the security workers before the man was kicked.

A McDonald’s spokeswoman said: "It is completely unacceptable to see anyone behaving this way, and we are in the process of fully investigating the incident.

"The individual in question works for an external security company and will not be on duty at any of our restaurants while the investigation is ongoing.”

West Yorkshire Police said it had no record of officers being called to the incident on Merrion Street.
