Hunger can bring out some pretty wild emotions in some people.

It's one of the reasons why the whole KFC running-out-of-chicken-thing has left many a mixture of devastated and heartbroken.

Bizarrely enough, however, some hangry customers seem to have taken matters a little too far.

People in Tower Hamlets have called the police after being left enraged at the situation.

Understandably, the police were not happy.

They issued a polite warning reminding people only to call 999 in an emergency... no matter how hungry you are.

Meanwhile, the fast food chain says just 430 of its nearly 900 restaurants are open as normal.

Sadly, the branch in St Albans Road, Watford, is still closed, as is the branch in George Lane, South Woodford.

KFC has said it is working "flat out" to reopen branches after problems with deliveries on Friday and over the weekend, but added that some disruption will continue.

A spokesperson said: "We anticipate the number of closures will reduce today and over the coming days as our teams work flat out all hours to clear the backlog.

"Each day more deliveries are being made, however, we expect the disruption to some restaurants to continue over the remainder of the week, meaning some will be closed and others operating with a reduced menu or shortened hours."
