This is the moment a cheeky youngster snatched a takeaway from an unsuspecting McDonald's employee.
The pint-sized bandit hides behind a vehicle before swooping and brazenly nicking the food from the worker at the fast-food branch in north Dublin.
He waits for the perfect moment and is gone in a flash, leaving the driver's dangling arm grasping at air as he tries to catch him.
The confused employee stands in stunned amazement and takes a second to realise what is going on, Dublin Live reported .
The people filming the incident in the car behind are left in hysterics after witnessing the bizarre scene.
It is unclear if the hungry customers were able to get replacement meal after theirs was taken by the opportunistic thief.
The video isn't the only incident to be recorded at a McDonald's in recent days.
A shocking video has emerged of a violent brawl inside a McDonalds in the early hours of Easter Sunday.
One man, wearing a white polo shirt, can be heard shouting "let's go, let's go" after the store's security guard was hit with a 'wet floor' cone in the middle of the restaurant.
A shocked eyewitness caught the altercation at 4am on Easter Sunday when the group clashed on Commercial Road McDonald's in Strood, Kent.
Three men and a security guard clashed, with the guard aiming a kick at the trio - before one man was seen picking up a yellow cone and throwing it at him .
The security guard is reported to be recovering after the incident but it is not yet known what it was about.
