Following the reintroduction of Popeyes' chicken sandwich last weekend, several incidents have flared up across the United States.
And now TMZ has obtained a video from a Popeyes restaurant in Los Angeles in which the store's employees can be seen fighting behind the counter, one of whom appears to be armed with a frying pan.
In the dramatic clip, filmed by customers engrossed in the utter chaos, screaming can be heard, as someone yells, "You f**king hit me, b**ch!"
The fight allegedly broke out after it emerged that an employee at the restaurant was selling the popular chicken sandwich on the side.
This incident occurred less than a week after the fatal stabbing at a Popeyes restaurant in Maryland, an incident which a Popeyes spokesperson described as a "tragedy."
CBS Los Angeles report on the nationwide mayhem sparked by a chicken sandwich:"We are saddened to hear about this senseless act of violence," the spokesperson said in a press statement. "We, along with the franchisee, are fully cooperating with local authorities and actively working to gather more information."
There has been a disturbing trend of fights breaking out in various states after Popeyes restocked the chicken sandwich.
According to TMZ, a fight in another Maryland restaurant saw a customer getting violent towards employees behind the counter, before getting flour poured over his top.
The situation came to a head when a man waiting in line in Maryland died after getting caught up in a violent altercation.
Other incidents have seen cars being destroyed and the N-word being screamed.
TMZ reports that Popeyes will not be taking the chicken sandwich off its menu.
