The boss of an all-you-can-eat restaurant has spoken out after a foul-mouthed row broke out when staff accused three customers of wasting food.
Police were called to the Hull city restaurant Wings this week in a "dispute over payment" after three customers left uneaten food and refused to pay the leftover charge.
In a bid to hit back over the buffet bust-up, Wings general manager Andy Lin has now shared new CCTV footage revealing how the incident unfolded - including how one of the diners lifted up a chair in the dispute.
Adam Hussey, 19, had claimed workers trapped him and his two friends after they clashed because they "left a plate without eating it".
Mr Hussey said he and his friends paid about £50 up front for their meal and drinks.
They tucked into around five plates each.
But he said they left around a plate of food between them because it was either "cold" or "overcooked."
Staff at the restaurant then called police over the trio to intervene between both parties.
When the trio tried to leave the restaurant, Mr Hussey claimed staff and the restaurant manager left him "trapped in the corner" while a chef held his arm.
