Armed gang of 20 thugs turn takeaway into "war zone" in FIVE HOUR siege which terrified employees

A group of takeaway workers 'feared for their lives' during a five hour siege by 20 thugs who turned the shop into a "war zone".

Louts burst into the Palm Tree takeaway in Orchard Park, Hull - with CCTV footage of one brief segment of it showing one of the youths hurling a plank of wood stamped with nails at a member of staff.

Owner Ali Mazrae claims the attack lasted five hours - with many staff now too afraid to return to work.

At its peak, the attack - which staff described as like being in a "war zone" - featured an estimated 20 youths throwing bricks, wooden blocks with nails and stones at staff.

The attack on Tuesday night comes after months of terrorising by the same gang of youths, the Hull Daily Mail reports .
