McDonald’s employee arrested for holding three staff members hostage.
There were dramatic scenes on Thursday at a McDonald’s establishment that were nothing short of a movie scene.
After holding at least three employees hostage at the busy Berea Road restaurant, a McDonald’s employee in Durban, was taken into custody.
The employee reportedly was reacting to a workplace conflict and barricaded herself and the hostages on the upper floor of the restaurant’s two-story building and was armed with a knife.
