Trouble and squeak: ANOTHER McDonald’s in Birmingham is hit in second mice attack in as many nights in pro-Palestine stunt on Halloween

A McDonald’s in Birmingham has been hit in a second mice attack in as many nights in a pro-Palestine stunt on Halloween this evening. 

A video posted online shows the aftermath of what appears to be another protest against the fast food chain as dozens of mice are frantically seen scurrying on the floor of one restaurant. 

Footage shows workers desperately scrambling to try and contain the rodents, some of which have already been trapped under a large tuppaware container, as horrified customers watch on. 

At one point in the video, the person recording, who appears to have just stumbled across the unfolding chaos, can be seen on camera. He claims someone had just ‘dropped off’ the mice, sending them scurrying inside the restaurant. 

It comes just a day after a pro-Palestine activist emptied another box of mice into another McDonald’s in Birmingham before walking off and shouting ‘f*** Israel’, as horrified diners fled the infested restaurant.

It is unclear which Birmingham McDonald’s was the location of this latest attack, however, it is clearly a seperate chain as it has a notably different layout to the one videoed last night.

In the footage of today’s attack, the man recording can be heard saying: ‘Look at this. They’ve just dropped these off in McDonald’s. All these rats in McDonald’s.’

He then flips the camera to show four frantic McDonald’s staff scrambling to contain dozen of mice inside a tupperware box. 

One of the workers is holding a wooden broom as they look on in shock at the mice scuurrying along the floor as another tries to manoeuvre a plastic bag underneath the box.

A child’s voice can then be heard saying: ‘That is a lot of rats’ as the man filming continues to react in shock, adding: ‘look at that’. 

Shocking footage of yesterday’s attack shared on social media showed the man throwing the rodents over the floor of the fast food restaurant that was packed with customers. 

Diners were waiting for meals in the branch at the Star City leisure complex in Birmingham as the mice – spray painted in the colours of the Palestinian flag – were sent scurrying across the floor. 

McDonald’s confirmed last night that a ‘number of mice’ were released into the restaurant and it insisted the branch, now reopened, was ‘fully sanitised’ after the rodents were removed.

The clip, captioned ‘enjoy your rat burgers’, begins with a man holding onto fake number plates that read ‘PAIISTN’ and ‘Free Palestine’ as he arrived in his car.

The one-man protest was part of wider calls to boycott McDonald’s – who have offered free meals to IDF soldiers – along with Starbucks and Disney, for allegedly favouring Israel during the ongoing conflict. 

The man, wearing a Palestinian flag around his head, opened the boot of his car and grabbed the box of rodents before walking into the fast food chain, spilling them onto the ground. 

In the footage, two women run away in horror as the mice scuttle across the restaurant floor. The activist can be heard repeatedly shouting ‘Free f***ing Palestine’ as walks back to his car, later adding ‘Boycott Israel’ and ‘F*** Israel’ before driving off. 

At the end of the footage, a block of text on the screen reads: ‘Targetted boycott. The Big Three. Start by boycotting these brands that are directly involved in supporting the Israeli apartheid.’ 

Towards the end of the video, a recording of a phone call is also played as one man can be heard bragging: ‘All the alarms and going off and that ‘the doors are closed’.  A second voice then adds: ‘Successful mission’. 

Footage posted on social media shows dozens of mice that have been painted green, black, white and red, representing the four colours that make up the Palestinian flag

A spokesperson for McDonald’s yesterday told MailOnline: ‘We are aware of an incident in our Birmingham Star City restaurant this evening. The restaurant has been fully sanitised and our pest control partners have been called out to conduct a full inspection.’

West Midlands Police said it is investigating the case after ‘live rodents were thrown into a restaurant’.

A statement on X added: ‘We understand the distress this will have caused and it’s not acceptable in any circumstances.

‘This is currently being treated as a public nuisance offence and we’ve active lines on enquiries to identify, and then arrest, who was involved’. 

The riddle over who was behind the stunt at a McDonald’s restaurant deepened today when the man who originally posted a video of the incident denied responsibility.

Former limousine hire company worker and convicted fraudster Aamir Khan, 32, told MailOnline he had been sent the clip of the incident on Monday evening anonymously.

His brother Zahid, a fugitive who fled to Dubai before the pair were convicted over an exclusive car number plate scam five years ago, told us Mr Khan had merely reposted the clip on TikTok which then went viral.

Mr Khan’s TikTok and Instagram accounts – where friends congratulated him on the stunt – have now been deleted and police have launched an investigation to trace the person who emptied a box.

Mr Khan’s Instagram page included numerous pictures of him posing on the driveway of what was once the Khan family home in Moseley, Birmingham, one as recently as a fortnight ago.

Neighbours said the address, once said to house an indoor swimming pool, has been turned into a house of multiple occupancy but was still within the Khan family. Land Registry documents show it was bought by a Basharaf Khan in March.

One neighbour said Aamir Khan still visited regularly, adding: ‘I saw him go off with friends recently in a blue Range Rover’. Another said he had noticed a Palestinian flag in the porch of the property just a matter of days ago, while a tenant at the address said she believed he kept a first floor flat there.

Occupants at the address also recognised pictures of Mr Khan, with one tenant saying: ‘His name is Aamir and he is the owner. He comes around in the evenings sometimes.’

A Vauxhall Corsa said to belong to Mr Khan was amongst the vehicles parked in the gated driveway this afternoon.

Neighbours at another address linked to the Khan family in the Hall Green suburb said Aaamir sometimes ‘turned up at the wheel of a supercar’ to visit the occupants.

Mr Khan’s Instagram page suggested he worked at Royal Limos, a luxury hire car company in the city.

But a man answering the phone at the limo company claimed Mr Khan left the firm four years ago, and now had a loose relationship whereby he was paid commission for attracting customers through publishing the firm’s vehicles on his social media.

The man, who called himself Adam, denied having anything to do with the McDonald’s incident.

When he was contacted via social media, Mr Khan said the McDonald’s video was ‘sent to me anonymously so I don’t know who did it.’
