Police have issued CCTV images after reports that three men attempted to rob an 18-year-old at a McDonald’s in Romford last night (Tuesday), threatening him with a knife and acid.
Police were called to the restaurant in South Street at 11pm.
They have said three men entered the restaurant and approached the victim who was at the counter ordering food.
One asked what the victim had for him and showed the handle of a knife in his waistband.
When the victim said he had nothing, another man threatened him with a bottle, which he intimated contained acid.
When the victim refused to hand over anything, the men left the restaurant.
The first man is described as black, of medium build, aged in his 20s.
