Nando's employee assaulted with plate shares her story.

In the world of social media, things can go viral in just a matter of seconds. And that's exactly what happened to a Nando's waitress who was recently assaulted by one of her customers. The shocking incident was caught on camera and shared on various platforms, garnering over 20 million views.

The footage shows the man, who was sitting with a woman and child, hitting the waitress in the face with a plate as she was placing food on their table. Understandably, the waitress was left feeling traumatized and violated. She immediately reported the incident to the police, who were called to the Nando's restaurant in Stratford, London.

However, much to her disappointment, it seems that the police did not take any action against the attacker. In fact, they let him go without even taking his details or checking the CCTV footage. The waitress, who took to social media to express her frustration, even filed a complaint against the officers. But all she got in return was a response from their supervisor saying that they are only human and can make mistakes.

Even the Metropolitan Police admitted that they did not handle the case promptly when it was first reported in March. It was only after the video went viral that they decided to reopen the investigation. The victim, who is also a young woman, bravely spoke out about the incident in a seven-minute video. She highlighted the failure of the police and their conduct, which was more concerning to her than the actual attack.

She also expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming support she has received from people online. She believes that the video caught the attention of the public because of the recent rise in violence against women, especially young women and girls. And she felt it was important to speak up and share her side of the story.

But before explaining what happened, she wanted to address the disappointing behavior of the police. She said that she was grossly let down by them, but is relieved that the investigation has been reopened. In the end, she thanked everyone for their support and attention, but couldn't help but feel disappointed by the police's initial response.

Earlier footage of the incident also showed the male suspect ordering his meal before the attack happened. The Metropolitan Police have since released a statement saying that they are aware of the video and are working to establish why the case was not handled promptly. They have also made contact with the victim and will keep her updated on the progress of the investigation. So far, no arrests have been made.

Nando's, on the other hand, immediately reported the incident to the police and has been supporting their colleague since then. They have a zero-tolerance policy towards such behavior and prioritize the safety of their employees and customers. It's a shame that such a violent and unprovoked attack happened in their restaurant, but they are standing by their employee and making sure that justice is served.
