A teenager was served instant karma as he was forced to quickly flee after hurling chairs at two restaurant workers as a ‘gang of 30 teens’ watched on.
A shocking video has emerged online of about 30 youngsters attacking a family restaurant in the seaside Kent town of Broadstairs.
The 59-second clip shows a gaggle of yobs storming towards a Italian restaurant, Sardinia, as two staff members appear at the workplace’s doorway.
Another youth then pushes one of the men as tensions escalate with another teenager picking up a chair and launching it towards a glass pane.
As another unidentified item is hurled through the air, the young man picks up a chair and throws it at a staff member, armed with a black chair.
Seemingly working in tandem, a separate teen then slams a chair towards the same waiter standing in the doorway, as horrified customers watch on in horror.
The previous yob circles back again, as both he and the workman hurl black chairs in each others direction.
But karma came around quickly, as a separate staff member emerges from the restaurant and chases one of the teens down the road.
Loud shouting could be heard from the group of unruly youngsters as the yob raced away from down the seaside street away from the restaurant worker.
It is believed the group of teens were chasing another young person who had hid inside the family restaurant for safety.
Restaurant manager, Tony, said four or five tables of guests were inside when the incident transpired.
He told The Sun: ‘They were trying to get to this boy who they already attacked to beat him again.
‘We let him inside and shut the doors, but they attacked the staff and threw chairs.
‘He was half their size, I don’t know why they would want to do this – there were about 30 of them.’
The restaurant boss also spoke of his dismay that the teen’s parents had not been in touch following the attack.
Another business in the town also had its window broken amid reports of street fights, underage drinking, and bottles being thrown at beach huts as well as thefts.
A dispersal order was also issued by police throughout the town following a day of chaos in the town.
The force also responded to reports from incidents in the town’s train station.
A spokesperson for Kent Police said: ‘Kent Police is aware of incidents of anti-social behaviour in the Broadstairs area including under-age street drinking, fighting and reports of aggressive behaviour towards staff at shops and restaurants during the evening of Thursday 19 June 2025.
‘Officers attended and three arrests were made on suspicion of offences relating to public order, assault and criminal damage.
‘Two boys aged 16 and 17, and a 15-year old girl, all from Thanet, have since been released on bail pending further enquiries.
‘Officers are currently investigating these incidents, and a dispersal order has been implemented due to ongoing concerns relating to issues caused by a small minority of young people in some public areas including the town centre and beaches.
‘We fully understand that residents may be concerned about incidents of crime and disorder committed by the minority, however they should feel reassured that local officers will be on patrol in the area to provide a visible presence to prevent offences from occurring.’
Dispersal orders give officers extra powers to stop and search individuals under Section 60 of the Public Order Act.
It also give them the authority to move groups of people form an area.
