Two people were left ‘significantly distressed’ after they were verbally assaulted and spat at, at a McDonald’s near Milton Keynes.

At around 7.15pm on Friday, April 16, officers from Incident and Crime Response team four were called out to the fast-food establishment on the A5 at Little Brickhill.

It has been reported that the two victims in a grey Hyundai ordered food at the Drive-Thru before attempting to park up as instructed by staff.

However, an argument broke out with the two victims and three other people in a red VW Golf over the use of the parking space.

Those in the Golf become verbally abusive towards the people in the Hyundai before they threw food and drink at them, hit the driver in the arm, and spat in the face of the driver.

They then caused damage to the Hyundai before driving away when confronted by other members of the public.

The victim was not injured when punched.

TVP Milton Keynes said: “This incident caused significant distress and upset to two individuals who were simply going out to get food for their Friday evening.

“Luckily, other members of the public intervened before this situation got worse and any serious injury or damage was caused.

“To also spit in the face of another person, particularly during a global pandemic, is also particularly disgusting and demeaning to the victim.
