A Nando’s waitress was viciously attacked by a male customer who smacked her across the face with a plate while she tried to serve him.
The ‘savage’ and ‘unprovoked’ assault took place in March at a branch in Stratford, London, with footage of the incident going viral overnight after it was shared on X.Â
HOW THE ASSAULT HAPPENED
In it, the female waitress is seen approaching a table where a bearded man, wearing a black beanie and dark hoody, is sitting with a woman and baby.
As the Nando’s server places a plate of food on his table, CCTV captures the moment the male thug lashes out and slaps her across the face with a dinner plate.Â
The force of the brutal blow sends the stunned waitress flying backwards, leaving her holding her face, as horrified diners nearby turn around to watch the drama. Â
The battered worker then leaves the scene as her attacker gets up and walks away from the table with the woman and child, leaving a full plate of food behind.
It’s not known what triggered man’s violent outburst, with footage of the assault uploaded on Wednesday evening.

One woman, who claimed to have been the assaulted waitress, shared the clip on X – with the video notching up more than 20million views since last night.Â
‘No way I’ve come onto this app and seen myself get assaulted,’ she wrote.
The incident was reported to the Metropolitan Police – but the woman who shared the video was critical of the force’s response.Â
