EXCLUSIVE: Data shows assaults at KFCs nearly every day in England and Wales Most violent branch of the chain has been revealed as in Brixton, south London
KFC fast food restaurants in England and Wales were the scene of a violent assault nearly every day of the year in 2022, new police crime logs reveal.
Staff at the fried chicken takeaway joints face year-round aggression from angry and irate customers, and have to deal with punch-ups breaking out between diners.
Now, new police data has revealed the most violent KFC branch is the one in Brixton, south London.
The data gives details of incidents including employees being pelted with their own chicken by angry diners and one terrifying moment where staff had to barricade the doors from a mob of rampaging youths.
Fights have started inside the restaurants that have seen customers kicking and punching one another, with some disputes carrying on inside after being triggered by a car parking row outside.
The survey, carried out by freebets.com, uncovered a total of 297 assault incidents logged last year by police at KFC restaurants in England and Wales.
However, as 10 of the 44 police forces were unable to provide data the true total could be even higher.
London logged a total of 37 punch-ups at KFCs last year, with the most being recorded at the branch in Brixton Road, south London.
Videos shows how this chicken shop was the scene of chaotic fight when a woman in hair rollers chucked a wet floor cone over the counter at a worker before attempting to grab her.
The footage of the KFC in Brixton, shot in July 2019, shows the evening dispute between the two women escalate into a full-blown fight.

Pakistani Fried Chicken. Finger lickin’ something.
There used to be an app, “Sketch Factor” which got canceled because, lo and behold, the most sketchy places were somehow almost always associated with _________.
Excellent
I’m forced to do that, often.
Ha, my first thought, as well.
London get toe.
They may eventually have to operate like Jim Dandy’s Fried Chicken, at Vermont Ave. and the 105 Freeway in the Broadway-Manchester neighborhood of South-Central Los Angeles. A visit there is like a visit to a bank in a high-crime area. The staff works behind a bulletproof glass window, and you make your payment and receive your order through a metal chute. Despite this inconvenience, it’s my favorite chicken in LA.
Good chicken *and* an adventure. Sounds like a fun Friday night activity to me.
Nope. Think Chicago all-night ribs'n'wings joint. It's a shame. It's an old working-class neighborhood, and looks so inviting from far away — from the elevated train tracks you can see colorful the main shopping street with its old-fashioned store fronts. But I was warned.... and I haven't been over there since well before BLM, so it's probably worse now.
Hmmm. Would Oiks work?
Quite. I'd be chuffed to bits if oiks was used.
It’s pretty bad when you feel like posting “Don’t bother looking. It’s the Amish, again.” and the country where the incident took place is NOT the USA.
Maybe there is something in the KFC batter…
Gee looks like WaHo fights
Indeed
On a good weekend
Agreed - there are frequently news articles about the 24/7 places like Waffle House, but I'd like to see how they compare to the fast food joints near the 'hood.
I know, you were going to suggest self preservation with hot fryer grease in a coffee cup.
the monosodium glutamate makes those people crazy
