A man vandalising Happy Friar takeaway. // This is the moment a drunk man smashed up a family-owned Chinese takeaway- leaving staff scared to go to work. Shocking CCTV from the Happy Friar in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, shows a man, who appears to be drunk, laying down on the floor in the middle of the takeaway shop. When he finally stands up, he starts smashing up the restaurant, punching the plastic screen, throwing a vase on the floor, and using a shard to break the glass window before leaving. The incident at around 5:45pm on Sunday (18th January) caused the restaurant to close for the rest of the day, costing the owners hundreds of pounds in takings.
