World’s ‘WORST’ McDonald’s shuts down after cops were called out 900 times to fights – including one involving a racoon

THE WORLD’S most notorious McDonald’s has shut for good following 900 police incidents at its premises, including one fight that involved a racoon. The fast food joint in Ottawa, Canada, has been in service for almost four decades but this year will not renew its lease after it suffered a series of unfortunate events.

More than 15 men are seen throwing blows to each other’s jaws, grappling on the floor and launching items at anyone in their path. One man even pulled out a racoon from his jacket during the altercation. In 2018 alone, more than 800 emergency calls were made to police due to fights and unsavoury customers. Last year, the McDonald’s was forced to reduce its operating hours because of its hostile environment. But, the unruly behaviour continued, which ultimately lead then-Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau to send a letter to Canada McDonald’s about the “ongoing criminal activity and social disorder”. However, building owner Crosthwaite told CTV he believed dipping revenue due to poor infrastructure contributed to the franchise not renewing its lease. He said: “The city tore up Rideau Street when they put the subway in. “Then they re-tore it to enhance it, putting curbing in. “There has also been freedom rallies and COVID, all these things are upheavals that can’t make it easy for a steady, reliable operation.” McDonald’s Canada has been reached for comment. In 2018, another clip dubbed “Legendary Rideau McDonald’s” gained overnight fame after three men were filmed beating each other with floor signs.  People brawling in McDonald’s is not isolated to Canada, there have also been some shocking incidents in UK. One worker was captured whacking a female with a cleaning mop. Another clip showed three thugs fighting outside the Ashford branch. In 2018 alone, more than 800 calls were made to police involving fights at the premises
