The brawl broke out at a McDonald’s in Hackney, London, yesterday in front of several shocked customers. 

It comes after a violent 36 hours in London as six people were stabbed and a woman was found dead near a railway line. 

In December it was reported that Met Police responded to 13,405 incidents involving knives in just twelve months, with 106 people murdered last year. 

Footage shows the gang – who all appear to be young men – wrestling with each other before one pulls out a crutch and uses it as a weapon. 

Members of staff are forced to intervene when the fight escalates into an all-in row in the middle of the restaurant floor – with one male worker being pushed backwards by the men.

Punches are thrown and shouts can be heard – as one involved in the incident shouts ‘What are you doing bro? Leave bro.’ 

Meanwhile, one of the yobs involved in the fight pulls out a massive knife, according to The Sun.  

The row then spills out to the ordering counter area and eventually the group of thugs leave the premises.
