Youths attack student’s car at Edinburgh McDonalds restaurant

A gang of youths have been caught on video targeting a car full of female students on St Patrick’s Day.

Footage appeared to show the group of around eight teenagers slamming the vehicle at the McDonald’s restaurant on Telford Road in Edinburgh. The incident unfolded at around 5pm on Tuesday, with one woman describing feeling ‘terrified’ by the actions of the ‘aggressive youths.’

The females, all aged between 18 and 19, filmed the ordeal and could be heard screaming after one lad tried to open a car door. The clip also appeared to show several members of the group draped in Ireland flags.

One woman claimed the feral gang had targeted staff at the fast food restaurant before turning on their vehicle. They were first attacked by the youths at the drive thru before they chased the car after spotting it in the McDonald’s car park.

She told Edinburgh Live: “My friends and I went to McDonald’s to try the new menu. When we went through the drive thru, we were receiving our food, when a group of young boys appeared acting aggressively towards us and the workers.

“They continued to escalate their behaviour as they started hitting the car and trying to open the doors, leaving us girls terrified by this threat and invasion of space.

“We continued to drive away and these boys continued to follow us chasing the car and shouting rude and cruel language as we drove off.

“It has had a psychological impact and I would like this behaviour to stop as it is harassment.”
