Spur condemns racism and violence following restaurant spat

A video of the argument, which threatened to turn violent, has been widely shared on social media.

The man later threatens to slap the woman.

Spur says the incident has been the subject of an investigation. It adds that management and staff tried to intervene, but were pushed away numerous times by the angry man. 

"As soon as the incident escalated, Texamo Spur staff notified The Glen Shopping Mall security. We are very disappointed that children were exposed to this type of behaviour and certainly do not condone any forms of racism or violence," Spur says in a statement.

Spur restaurants nationwide have since banned the man from their establishments.
