A security guard has been filmed lashing out at a young man in Leeds city centre.
The security worker - contracted to the fast food chain - was seen kicking the man outside the restaurant shortly after 2am on Tuesday.
McDonald’s says it has launched an investigation into the "completely unacceptable" incident, Leeds Live reports.
Witnesses say the victim and two of his friends had been abusive towards security staff after they were refused entry to McDonald's, because they appeared to be intoxciated.
Speaking anonymously, one man said the trio had thrown glass bottles at the door of the restaurant and attempted to assault 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 has no record of officers being called to the incident in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
