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."

"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.
