It is the third McDonald’s to be hit over the chain’s alleged support of Israel.
Staff at the city’s Perry Bar McDonald’s branch struggled to contain dozens of mice let free in the fast food restaurant on Tuesday.

The man who recorded the video says he was a bystander and said: ‘Oh my days. Look at this! They’ve just dropped this off at McDonald’s. All these rats.
‘Somebody just took that in. Oh my days.’
Mice painted red, white and green – the colours of the Palestinian flag – were also tossed into another McDonald’s Birmingham.
Two women who were ordering at a kiosk jumped and screamed when they saw the animals on the floor.
The video was captioned: ‘Targeted boycott. The Big Three. Start by boycotting these brands that are directly involved in supporting the Israeli apartheid.’
McDonald’s has confirmed that a number of the animals were set loose inside the location, but said they have been removed.
