A video posted on social media earlier this week showed customers at a fast-food outlet in Nechells jumping in shock as mice dyed in the colours of the Palestinian flag scurried near their feet.
A second man has been arrested in connection with incidents of live rodents being thrown into McDonald's restaurants in apparent protests linked to the Gaza conflict. Following a police appeal, a 30-year-old is being held in custody as part of the investigation into the 'appalling' incidents in Birmingham. The West Midlands force also said that a 32-year-old man detained earlier this week has since been bailed.
Social media posts have suggested McDonald's outlets in Israel have given 100,000 free meals to the country's soldiers and members of its security forces after Hamas launched its deadly cross-border attack on 7 October. The reported move is said to have prompted pro-Palestinian demonstrators to boycott the global chain. But McDonald's said at the time it was 'dismayed by the disinformation and inaccurate reports' in relation to its position on the war.
