Police have vowed to bring to justice a pair of brothers who were filmed attacking a McDonalds worker.
They said that they have received multiple reports identifying the attackers whose mother has spoken out to criticise their behaviour.
They were allegedly with their father when they locked a member of staff in a cupboard and flicked a workers cap before beating up the manager who asked them to leave.
Sorry, this video isn't available any more.
As the attack began on Tuesday night, it has been reported that their father walked out of the restaurant in Boston, Lincolnshire, and sat in the car to wait for them.
Chief inspector Deborah Clark said: We are taking this extremely seriously and we are making good progress with our enquiries.

Witness Jasmine Brudenall, 28, filmed it all. She said: I sensed it was going to erupt. Sometimes you can tell when someone is so drunk that there is no chance of reasoning with them.
They were so intoxicated, There was no stopping this – they would have hit anyone who got in the way.

One person who watched the drama unfold, said: The young lads wanted a fight from the beginning – they were being really stupid and were shouting and swearing at the workers.
The two lads who were fighting were drunk. One of the boys was trying to lock one member of staff in the toilets.
The manager told a member of staff to go over and tell them to leave and then it all just went off.
There were 10-year-olds there with their parents – anyone who stepped in was going to get a beating.
She added: The McDonalds employee was able to keep them away from the kids. My heart was beating. There was just a feeling of shock, everyone was gobsmacked – it was not nice. It was a heroic but horrible incident for the staff member.
