Wild moment food delivery driver is caught up in a horrific act outside a Melbourne McDonald’s after picking up an order
Horrific footage has emerged of a group of teenagers attacking a food delivery driver moments after he left a McDonald’s with bags of food in his hands.
The man was attacked by at least five teenagers outside the restaurant in Southbank, Melbourne, while one of their friends filmed, Herald Sun reported.
The youths were seen kicking the driver as he backed away and tried to defend himself, with food falling out of his bag.
The teens quickly surrounded the driver and threw him to the ground, where one of them stomped on him several times in the head and two others kicked him.
The delivery man managed to get up before being pulled back down from behind.
He was repeatedly kicked and punched in the head.
Incredibly, the delivery man stood up again, still holding his bag in his hand.
He was seen trying to pick up one of his McDonald’s orders that had fallen to the ground.

The shocking video follows a series of crimes targeting food delivery workers in Queensland and Victoria.
According to Victoria Police, food delivery workers are responsible for a significant percentage of carjackings.
“The latest data from the Crime Statistics Agency shows that 359 carjackings were recorded in Victoria in the 12 months to March 2024,” a spokesperson said.
‘126 of these, or 35.1 percent, were failed attempts.
‘Given that there are over five million registered vehicles in Victoria and hundreds of millions of journeys take place on Victoria’s roads each year, the chances of you becoming a victim of a carjacking are slim.’
