The owner of an Ilford takeaway which has been in the centre of a viral video showing a group fight has warned that people causing trouble will be “banned forever”.

It follows after footage circulating online showed several men in the brawl, with one man being punched by the group in BiGY’s, a takeaway on Ilford Lane.

The incident occurred on Monday (February 23) a 4.36pm.

Police were contacted after the suspects left the scene, a Metropolitan Police spokesperson said.

Days later, the owner has shared a video on the BiGY’s Instagram page, saying that antisocial behaviour will lead to bans from the place.

He said: “Recently there have been a couple of incidents and the videos circulating online.

“Let me make this clear, antisocial behaviour is not accepted at BiGY’S. It does not represent BiGY’S and we will not accept this.

“We have taken the serious measures including the security on site. Anybody who’s involved with antisocial behaviour will be banned forever.

“No service, no second chances.

“We would like to request please respect each other, respect the neighbourhood, do not litter and do not block the drivers, please.

“BiGY’S is about good food, good vibes, so keep it that way.”

No arrests have been made at this time and an investigation is ongoing.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “On Monday, 23 February at 16:26hrs police received a report of a fight between several men on Ilford Lane, Ilford.

“Officers were contacted after the suspects had left the scene. An investigation is ongoing and police continue to make enquiries.”
