The older gentleman in a blue hoodie can be seen appearing to throw punches at the staff with his hands in fists.
The wild interaction started at Red Rose Lounge, Waterlooville, Hampshire, as reported by Need To Know.
It happened yesterday (29 Dec).
Two members of staff and a woman followed the man outside.
The trio pleaded with the man to pay his bill whilst questioning his actions.
At one point, the man attempted to hit the camera out of the recording staff’s hands.
Workers insisted that they served the customer ‘nicely’ before he fled without paying.
After the situation turned aggressive, the footage stopped, and the staff let the man walk off.
A spokesperson for the Red Rose Lounge said: “It’s a shame the person had a meal with us and he ran away without paying.
“When our colleagues tried to stop him, he punched one of our staff, and the local pedestrian tried to stop him, and he tried to punch the lady as well.
“Anyway, we hope he got home safe.”
Hampshire Police has been approached for a comment.
