One Merseyside McDonald's has been described as a "warzone" after dark.
Antisocial behaviour is a problem for councils across Merseyside and the wider country, however in St Helens, some of the trouble seems to be concentrated around one fast food restaurant. The McDonald's on Church Street in the town centre has seen several high profile incidents in recent months.
Namely, a vicious attack on a delivery driver by a gang of teenagers, which was caught on film just outside the restaurant. During the assault in March of this year, yobs allegedly hurled racist abuse and bit the delivery driver.
