This is the moment a suspected dine-and-dasher threw a steak at a restaurant owner before allegedly leaving without paying a £800 bill.

A group of nine diners are said to have arrived at Tinel Seafood & Grill in Grantham, Lincolnshire before ordering some of the most expensive drinks and dishes on the menu.

The owner Flávio Serra, said he accommodated the group as a last-minute booking but found they were rude and disruptive, with one of them storming into his kitchen.

CCTV shot on Friday, June 28 shows Mr Serra confronting the man - only for the thug to throw his well-done steak in his face.

A furious argument then erupted, with both men pointing their fingers in each other's face.
