Video: Shocking moment thug smashes windows and hurls paint at Doncaster restauarant

This is the shocking moment a weapon wielding thug smashed windows of a Turkish restaurant in Doncaster city centre - and then doused the building in paint in a sickening attack.

The raider struck at the Antep Bar and Grill in Nether Hall Road, causing thousands of pounds worth of damage.

In the footage, the attacker is first seen smashing all the windows of the restaurant and then splashing the front of the building with a bucket of paint.

Bosses say they are “saddened and disappointed” by the attack in the early hours of Wednesday.

A spokesperson said: “We’re really saddened and disappointed to share that our restaurant was targeted. with windows smashed and paint thrown over the front.

“We work incredibly hard to build something positive for the community, so it’s genuinely upsetting to see this happen.

“It’s also a real shame that local businesses on our street have had to deal with a series of incidents like this over the past year.

“As a result, we’ll be closed while we carry out repairs and make the place safe again.

“If anyone saw anything or has any information at all, please reach out to us directly. We appreciate all the support as always.

“We won’t let horrible ‘people’ like this stop what we do.”

It comes after a similar attack in March when what bosses described as a “low life” smashed every window at nearby Italian restaurant Zammuto.

CCTV footage of the Antep attack captured a motorbike helmet wearing thug smashing up the restaurant at around 1.23am.

The Turkish restaurant is managed by husband and wife Dektas and Satma Polat, who have lived in the UK for 33 years, raising two children here.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: "At 2.46am on Wednesday 6 May we received reports of criminal damage at a premises on Nether Hall Road, Doncaster.

"It is reported that a man smashed five windows at the premises with a hammer before leaving the scene.

“Enquiries are ongoing and anyone with information that could aid the investigation is asked to get in touch online or by calling 101, quoting incident number 87 of May 6, 2026."
