Seana Ryan claimes she was walking past the Belfast branch of the fast food chain when she heard a man nearby shouting 'take pictures'
KFC has launched an investigation after a stunned pedestrian claimed to have filmed a huge rat scuttling about the floor of the restaurant.
Photos and videos of the rodent were posted online, claiming to be taken in a Belfast branch of the fast food chain on Saturday evening, reports Belfast Live.
Seana Ryan, 23, said: "It was just surreal, I was out with my boyfriend and friend when we heard this man shouting, 'Take pictures'.
"It was running around the tables and climbing up on the benches."

A KFC spokesperson said: "We take the hygiene of our restaurants extremely seriously, so we were really shocked by this and immediately closed the store. We invited the authorities to inspect the premises the very next morning, who found no trace of a pest issue, past or present, and declared the restaurant fully clear to reopen. Although there is a wider issue in this area of the city, the restaurant has no history of problems like this and received the highest score possible on its most recent independent hygiene inspection with 5 out of 5 stars. We’re truly sorry this happened, but it seems it was a very unfortunate freak event.
