A fight over an order at a Manhattan McDonald’s leads to complete chaos and it was all caught on tape.
The video contains images and audio of a graphic nature.
Sources tell CBS 2’s Chris Wragge the stunning incident featured a cashier with a criminal past violently beating two female customers after they appear to provoke him by slapping him and then hopping the counter.
It was a horrific scene to watch. The cashier disappears into the back of the fast-food restaurant on West Fourth Street in Greenwich Village before returning with a metal rod he then used viciously on the two customers.
The gruesome act of violence early Thursday morning escalated after the customers argued and yelled obscenities at the cashier when he questioned a $50 bill they gave him.
One of the female customers then slapped the cashier. A woman is then seen jumping over the counter, while the other woman goes behind the register. They are then savagely attacked.
Other customers watched in horror as other McDonald’s workers tried unsuccessfully to stop the violence.
One female customer has a fractured skull and a broken arm. The other has a deep cut.
Rayon McIntosh, 31, was arrested and charged with felony assault. McIntosh served more than a decade in prison after shooting and killing a high school classmate in 2000. There was no immediate word if the customers would also be charged in the incident.

There are always a few folks who seem to think that a person who defends himself against a sudden, unprovoked, violent attack MUST respond rationally, logically, and coolly, and they are horrified if the person attacked fails to do that. Almost without exception, such people have never suffered a sudden, unprovoked, violent attack themselves.
Hopefully he has a defense attorney who can skillfully argue that point.
You’re watching too much TV.
Do the women have 'records' as well? Seems all three have 'anger management' issues. Each of these perps, could have called for the Manager to help deal with the offending issue of the $50.
At same time...did McD's know they had a murderer serving their customers?
You didn’t answer the question. Would you have rather the guy be the victim at the hand of these two thugettes?
In the heat of battle it is best to keep your cool but we have emotions and they always get involved. This guy knew when to stop once he beat these thugettes into submission. He could have easily let his emotions get the best of him and just kept on whacking them until they died, but he did not. He practiced self control.
I don't know about that. Even someone lying down can reach behind them, pull a gun out of their waistband, and blow you away. I think it stops being self-defense only if you know for an absolute fact that there is nothing more they can do. For instance, they are unconscious and now you're pouring gasoline over them and hunting for matches. Then you need a time-out to compose yourself.
Your naïveté is ingratiating..
It seems to me these stupid animals love violence.
So why shouldn’t they love it when the tables are turned?

Glad you’re gone. You don’t deserve to live here.
When you're attacked, there is no such thing as a disproportionate response. The fact the attackers (aka the two Bimbo's) are still alive is a credit to this man's restraint.
The cashier was attacked. I am glad he defended himself. I hope he gets a good lawyer!
