A McDonald's worker has been fired after she was accused of pouring boiling water over a child at a restaurant in Istanbul, Turkey.
Witnesses say a female employee filled up a glass and tipped scalding water down the boy's neck because he was "disturbing customers".
A horrified man intervened when he saw welts appear on the child's skin, while other customers rushed to report the woman to authorities.
The woman, known only as Mutlu H, reportedly claimed it was an accident.
Footage shows a young boy stumbling as he is escorted to a police van outside the restaurant in Nisantasi.
