Nudie run through McDonald's grabs police attention

Families with children were confronted by the sight of five naked men on a Friday night.

The police aren't happy with five men who did a nudie run through an Australian McDonald's, disturbing families dining with young children.

CCTV footage shows the five mates racing into the fast-food restaurant in Newcastle's CBD before 7pm on Friday November 10.

Two of the men covered their genitals, police said, while the other three went free and easy.

Families with children were confronted by the sight of five naked men on a Friday night.

The incident may appear amusing to some but there were several families with small children in the restaurant at the time, Detective Chief Inspector Peter Mahon said in a statement on Tuesday.

"Police are investigating this display of offensive behaviour and are seeking assistance from the public to identify the males".
