The footage, which surfaced on social media, shows a man, woman and child seated at a corner table of the restaurant as they wait for their meals.
A waitress then approaches to serve up their food, but as she places it on the table, the man leans over and smashes an empty plate in her face.
She quickly steps back and walks away as the man shouts after her.
Meanwhile, the woman at the table leans forward to stop him. Moments later, they get up with the child and make a quick exit.
CCTV shows shock moment Nandos customer slaps waitress with a plate
The incident happened in March this year in Stratford, London.
A woman believed to be the employee in the video has since opened up about what happened on Twitter.
She claimed: “The police were present at the time, I reported it to them, and they let him go without taking his details or checking the CCTV.
“I filed a complaint against the officers and their supervisor got back to me and essentially said ‘they’re humans and made a mistake’.”
The Metropolitan Police said: “We are aware of a video circulating online showing an incident in a branch of Nando’s in Stratford which took place in March.
“A report of assault was made to police at the time of the incident, however, it appears this was not progressed promptly by officers.
“We are working to establish why this happened and accept this is not the level of service Londoners should rightfully expect from the Met.
“We have since made contact with the victim and a statement has been taken – we will endeavour to keep her updated with the progress of this investigation.
“There has been no arrest and enquiries are ongoing to locate the man involved.”
Anyone who can provide information about this incident should call 101 ref CAD 1872/21 Aug.
A Nando’s spokesperson said: “This was a shocking and unprovoked attack earlier this year.
“We reported it to the police immediately and have supported our colleague since.
“We will not tolerate this kind of behaviour, the safety of our colleagues and customers is our priority.”

Jesus, it’s bad enough to randomly assault someone, but to do it in front of your child? That kid has surely seem some shit, and when they track this family down I hope the child gets some therapy to deal with it.

Why would you use ‘slaps with a plate’ instead of the actual ‘attacked’ or ‘assaulted’?
Say something offensive on twitter and get arrested meanwhile if you assault someone you are let go Scott free 😨 I wonder what excuse people will come up to defend this when the police were literally at the incident at the time yet still chose to do NOTHING!
Yeah getting paid minimum wage to deal with those assholes is so worth it…

Why did the police let him go? I thought we were tackling extreme misogyny, no?

No, this must be a mistake. I was told several thousand times such things do not happen despite evidence to the contrary.
I haven’t been to Nando’s in a while but don’t you pay when you order, before the food arrives? Wouldn’t they have his card details easily available if that was the case to identify him?

The absolute bare minimum job of a police officer and they didn’t do a thing. Women and children are really just walking targets in this country.
Can you slap someone with a plate? You can hit them with it, but slap?

Y’know, theres a certain type of comment thats conspicuous in its absence from this comment section.
Can’t help but feel if it was Barry 63 assaulting a teenage Asian girl it would have been national news for weeks and there would be protests and people demanding him sacked from his job and removed from society followed by an immediate 18 month sentence.
I hope someone breaks every one of this man’s plates even the fine China too
Has unfortunately been picked up by Tommy Robinson already.
