COLUMBIA, Tenn. -- Another incident of violence erupted at a Popeyes with an employee allegedly body-slamming a woman onto the concrete outside a Tennessee restaurant.
Video of the alleged incident has gone viral and is now the subject of a police investigation.
Witnesses say the attack began after a woman disputed a charge on her bill at the restaurant in Columbia, Tennessee.
A heated argument ensued between the customer and several employees, prompting workers to tell the customer to leave the restaurant. Employees claim the woman then used a racial slur.
Footage shows the woman walking out of the restaurant, followed closely behind by several employees, including a man who appears to lift the woman off the ground and quickly slams her on the pavement.
The woman's attorney said the employee's actions weren't justified.
"If she said something that she regrets, it doesn't give a grown man the right to chase her into the parking lot as she is trying to leave the store, and body slam a 55-year-old grandmother down on the concrete," he said.
The customer's attorney also said the woman suffered nine fractures, including six broken ribs and a broken knee.

“Employees claim the woman then used a racial slur.”
Oh, well, then GAME OVER. She loses.
“55-year-old grandmother”
OK, I know they’re trying to play up sympathy, but 55 is only a bit older than I and hardly the picture of little fragile granny in the rocking chair.
I don’t care if she did use the “n word” ... there’s no excuse for what he did to that woman.
“Where are their fathers?”
Who cares? They are the same basic scum.
They've got to stop serving spinach to their employees.
Ugly broken down cracker.
Do you want some retard chimping out on you, breaking 6 ribs and a knee?
Looks like video was from a car in parking lot. You can see the car with sis being raised.
not sure i understand? The threads were pulled because of direct links in them?
No, but 55 is not truly “elderly” despite the AARP. We’re really only middle-aged.
she was frail enough to receive 6 broken ribs and a broken knee-
thanks, couldn’t remember the exact words-
Good point. My wife ran her first half marathon at 58, and did a mud run at 61.
*sigh* not the point...I just don’t like the connection between “55” and “elderly”. (Frankly, it’s disingenuous.)
MOST people slammed on a hard surface, the right way, unawares, will break many things.
Maybe in Okinawa...
Well......she used the ‘N’ word donchya know iow it was her fault
first of all, she was a woman- many women in general are more frail than men physically- secondly, she was elderly- 55 is elderly- whether we like to admit it or not- our bodies aren’t as resilient as they used to be- bones do become more brittle and easily broken once we start reaching these ages-
The disrespect that the younger generation has for elderly people today is unacceptable- That was a young punk- a young thug- that attacked an elderly woman because he was a coward that singled out a frailer opponent- He’s as bad as a predator- taking on the weaker and older person to attack- He’s scum-
Yes, agreed, but we’re not nearly as “broken down” as our 75-year-old parents.
My parents never seemed old until about that age - still not totally, but MUCH worse than they ever exhibited before 75.
Not elderly. Middle-aged.
Denny’s has its Grand Slam breakfast. Now Popeye’s has its Body Slam supper. Vive le Fast Food Wars.
