A restaurant owner said he was "disgusted" by the actions of a customer who "verbally abused" his staff after eating at the wrong restaurant.
Anthony Greenland, owner and head chef of Tik Tacos in Southport, said it was a "normal Saturday night" when he heard shouting coming from outside his kitchen. According to Anthony, a man in his mid-forties was standing up screaming and threatening his wife by "pointing at her face."
The commotion had started after the customer received the bill and did not see a deduction for a £20 deposit made for a reservation. However, when he asked why it had not been deducted he was informed by staff that he was in the wrong restaurant.
A spokesperson for Merseyside police said: "At around 9.40pm on Saturday 26 November officers received a report that a man had threatened staff at a restaurant on Coronation Walk in Southport. It was reported that a man threatened a member of staff inside the restaurant and then left the premises."
