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.

Guess they should not have attacked him and climbed over the counter in a threatening manner?
Oops! Just noticed this had already been posted with another title. Sorry mods!
Yet more antics by those named after synthetic fibers.
Cashier is right. Too bad he was arrested.
I haven’t seen the video, but I’m on his side already just from the description.
No bias here...........
Wait, they attacked him - and he’s the bad guy?
Lol.
It should be open season on people who commit crimes. Jump the counter? Hope you have insurance, because this is gonna hurt.
What a bunch of losers. All three of them. I was lucky enough to escape from the USA a long time ago. It makes me sad, but I won’t go back unless I need to fight a revolution.
He had already spent 10 years in jail for killing a classmate. Where is this McDonalds?
He was clearly justified. They were drunk!! and hit him first and They went for the cash register,in my opinion. God Bless him. If you attack — you deserve massive retaliation. DON”T ATTACK THE MAN!! I would walk him with praise!!
Self-defense —he simply got a little enthusiastic.
He was slapped, then the other perp ran around the other side of the counter to CUT OFF HIS ESCAPE.
They should think about promoting this man.
He made a very bad mistake before, and this is not a reprise.
The injustice here is his arrest.
Yep. Those chicks needed a beat-down.
Would you like some assault and pepper with your Big-Smack attack?
Would you like to supersize that contusion?
What kind of dressing would you like with that laceration?
They talked about the cashier's prison record but nothing about the arrest records of the assailants who jumped over the counter. No info on whether they were armed.
Cashier didn't start it and was defending himself. He will probably go to prison.
If people would think things through a little bit and be nice, things like this wouldn’t happen!
Why do these events happen at McDonald’s so often???
Never at fancy restaurants.
Just saying...................
An armed society is a polite society.
