Information is being shared about what the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) is calling a “disturbing incident” that took place at a downtown fast-food joint.

According to a VPD release, two men were seen yelling at staff and customers at a downtown fast-food restaurant, and they claimed to be part of a gang.

VPD pointed out that the video was shared on social media. We were able to find a link to the video, which you can see below.

Based on the various social media accounts that have shared the video, the incident took place at Burger Crush on Nelson Street. In the video, you see some men shouting and yelling at staff.

Be advised, there’s a lot of loud yelling and swearing in the footage taken from inside the Vancouver fast-food spot.

Police say they also claimed to have guns.

On Friday night, police received a report that two men entered the restaurant and damaged property. The two men left before officers arrived.

ā€œWe understand there is significant public interest in this incident. It is disturbing and unacceptable, not just to police, but to the staff and patrons of the restaurant,ā€ said VPD Inspector Erin Roulston in a release.

ā€œInvestigators are reviewing all available evidence, including CCTV footage, to determine what occurred and if criminal charges are appropriate.ā€
