Chef gets saucepan stuck on head during brawl in Chinese restaurant kitchen

A chef at a Chinese restaurant was left with a pan stuck on his head after a brawl broke out in the kitchen.

Shocked diners looked on as six furious kitchen workers attacked other with woks and saucepans. Manager Terence Pan tried to break them up but eventually had to call police.



Diner Clive Griggs, 41, said: “All of a sudden there was crashing and shouting. Six people burst out and started hitting each other with a variety of implements. The chef ended up with a saucepan stuck over his head and one of the guys was using a wok to defend himself.”

Three men aged between 30 and 50 were arrested at the Tai Tung ­restaurant in Croydon, South London, and bailed until next month. Two men were taken to hospital with head injuries.
