'I Went to McDonald's Restaurant in South Korea and Felt Like I Was in 2050'
- Six employees at a McDonald's in Highbridge Retail Park, Waltham Abbey, were sprayed with a chemical substance around 5:30 pm on June 24, 2025.
- Four suspects, described as white men, entered the restaurant and sprayed the liquid, which caused burning sensations to victims' eyes and skin, prompting emergency calls.
- Emergency responders dispatched multiple ambulances and specialist units, taking six patients to hospitals—half were admitted to Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, while the others were sent to North Middlesex University Hospital.
- Chief Inspector Terry Fisher acknowledged that the event likely caused worry among customers and staff the previous evening, and confirmed that the police are thoroughly investigating all possibilities, including the chance it involved an attempted robbery.
- The police emphasized that no serious injuries occurred, are conducting thorough tests on the liquid, and urge witnesses to provide information or video footage to aid the investigation.
