The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, allegedly used the straw to launch the chip at the woman’s head at a McDonald’s restaurant in the Broadway shopping centre in Hammersmith, west London.

This then sparked a bust up between three of his friends and four young women which spilled outside.

The boy was then arrested despite his mother claiming he was aiming the chip at his friend.

After months of prosecutors building up the case, the case was eventually dropped when he accepted a police caution.
