    Footage featuring teenagers trying to flee an Asian restaurant allegedly without paying for food went viral last week.

    Dine, dash and go viral: The clip, posted by Redditor adadslife on the “Public Freakout” forum, shows a group of teens having an argument with restaurant employees who barred the doors so they couldn’t escape. 

    • Some of the teens had already made it outside, celebrating, while the others were stuck inside.
    • “I’m going to be sick,” one of them screamed.
    • “Let me out,” yelled another.
    • An employee can be heard instructing someone to call the authorities.
    • As the teens yell, one became increasingly agitated once she realized they were being recorded, saying “you’ve got our names?”
    • They continuously try to overpower, slam and pry the door open from the employees who were blocking the entrance.

    Further details needed: As of this writing, it is still unknown when and where the incident happened as no other details about it were provided by the video uploader. 

    • Some Reddit users speculated that the incident happened in Manchester, England, due to the teens’ accent.
    • Regardless of where the incident took place, commenters mostly condemned the teens’ actions.
    • Some users accuse the customers of being privileged, with others agreeing that they got what they deserved.
    • Meanwhile, other commenters expressed their desire for the teens to get arrested or at least fined.
    • One indication that the incident happened recently is that all of the workers can be seen wearing face masks in the video.
