ECHO readers have supported McDonald's decision to ban youths from a restaurant after 5pm as "the anti-social behaviour is a nightmare".
The McDonald's branch on Church Street in Liverpool City Centre has confirmed anyone under the age of 18 without an accompanying adult would be turned away in the evenings. A spokesperson for the popular fast food restaurant said this was because of a number of incidents of anti-social behaviour in the area and employees being "subjected to verbal and physical abuse".
The decision to impose the restrictions is currently temporary, with one eyewitness telling the ECHO about the chaotic scenes as security guards turned away customers. The person previously told the ECHO: "As I was leaving the security guard stopped a man he believed to be a teenager and told him they weren't allowing people under 18 into the restaurant after 5pm without an adult with them.
