NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — An argument between a cashier and two irate customers at a Manhattan McDonald’s turned violent, leaving both customers injured and all three facing charges.

The entire incident, which was captured on video, happened Thursday morning at a McDonald’s on West Fourth Street in Greenwich Village, CBS 2’s Chris Wragge reports.

It appeared to have started when two female 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.

That’s when the cashier can be seen on the video disappearing into the back of the fast-food restaurant. He comes back with a metal rod and begins hitting the women.

Other customers watched in horror as McDonald’s workers tried unsuccessfully to stop the violence.

One female customer had a fractured skull that required surgery and a broken arm. The other has a deep laceration.

Rayon McIntosh, 31, was arrested and charged with two counts of felony assault and criminal possession of a weapon.

McIntosh served more than a decade in prison after shooting and killing a high school classmate in 2000. He was being held on $40,000 bail.

The female customers were charged with menacing, disorderly conduct and trespassing.

The owner of that McDonald’s said in a statement that she was “disturbed” by what happened and said the cashier is no longer employed there.

Hire an ex-con, works every time.

Gunny G Alz

My bust, he was good to go. Glad he issued out a beatdown. Kudos Bro.

Nick

“They were than savagely attacked”???? More like they were than vigorously defended against.

David Conard

I agree he did have a weapon but was attacked and charged by more than one person. He should get off the charges. I don’t care what his record is.

Kristie

I agree his record has nothing do with what those bitches started!

tim ach

I think they mentioned his record to show he may be of the tiype that had been prone to anger and violence and was a hard dude that was the wrong person to bitch slap,the fact that he was working at Mcdonalds and doing the job right shows me he’s trying to get on track and start new. I really hope he gets out of this. His energy could be used somewere in society.

Smith

The conviction was for manslaughter. He took his gun out and it accidentally discharged, hitting two people.

MICH

THEY DESERVED EVERYTHING THEY GOT.
OFFSET

dont you understand the media must spin this article in favor of customer so the cashier can be criminalized and disassociated from mcdonalds. had it reported correctly then the consensus might be that the mcdonalds cashier who beat two woman was somewhat justified and then SUE MCDONALD SUE MCDONALDS AND BOYCOTT MCDONALDS STARTS who mcdonlads im sure has ties to these media networks in some way shape or form.

rightsaidfred

Those beoches deserved worse than that. WOW people freak out when others decide they aren’t going to let black people get away with attacking them. Hurray for the worker, he should be given an award.

The Questioner

Hey racist—the suspect himself is black. But I guess that doesn’t matter when you’re defending men attempting to murder women with metal rods, does it?

Sal Manella

Hey, libt ard, it’s time to embrace your inner racist. It’s not a bad thing.

richard alllen

Ill bet those girls KNEW Rayon and this was just setlling up an old score….

they figured Rayon wouldn’t fight back since it looks like he hasnt been out of the slammer very long.
Jimmney

The women clearly didn’t get it “their way”, they should have went to Burger King instead.
KMD

Yes I have to question the interesting spin on the story. The gentleman does have a record but this was not a case of him having a record or not. We don’t know the specifics on his past other than it was a rough come up. He served his time for his crimes. What I see here is a man who was minding his own business and provoked into defending himself. Though I don’t agree with the extreme use of force, I was not there myself. I can only imagine if I am ever assaulted at work how I would react. Should I turn the other cheek. How far would you go to defend yourself everyone? Ask your self that question.

arnisfighter

I would have used that kind of force even if they are women attacking me. Those black women were so full of energy and could kill anyone. It’s a horrible story. The women deserved what they got from an ex-convict. Good for them, ha, ha, ha!

The Questioner

What the heck does their blackness have to do with anything? I swear—the number of outright racist comments on this thread is mind-boggling. Seriously folk—the women’s violence is no excuse for leaving racist and sexist comments!

And don’t even try to pull some “stop playing the race card” nonsense—once you post comments on a public forum filled with racist and sexist slurs, all bets are off. “Post-racial” society? Not even close.

Go Knicks Fan

I’m black and I saying the same thing that the whites on here are saying. For some reason Black females think they can act, say and do what is ever on there mind. I don’t know where you live; in NYC black females has lost their mind!!!

Brother Crane

No problem at all with the MacDonald’s employee. He was protecting himself after being attacked. How could he know if these assailants were armed?

Egor

Even befor they came on TV.

I knew they would be black.

Mars Guy

Yep.
mark s

I was willing to bet they were.

Daniel Bryant

This is a VERY misleading headline.

He was defending himself.

Bullies don’t become victims just because they loose fight they started.

As for the racist ‘black people are so violent’ nutwicks, the country is conducting 5+ wars. Started a new one in Ughanda 5 minutes ago.

Brutus

Yes, because wars are exactly the same as assaulting cashiers over trivialities..

And Uganda was such a peaceful place before. Tsk, tsk.
Mark s

yes, the president is Black

The Questioner

And the old money kleptocrats he and the rest of the federal government work for are white. What’s your point?

Grape Ape

The point is your a ni qqer-loving comm ie d ouchebag.

Jakes

McDonald’s is getting more ghetto by the day. Who eats there besides the losers whose entire family lives off government assistance?
gonzo bear

CBS got the reportage completely wrong. What idiot wrote the story, they need to be fired.

Perry Williams

Agree 100% percent
Anonymous

They couldn’t get past their emotions over a woman getting beat. Sometimes, even a woman, deserves to be beat. This is one of those times. Fools.

terry

chris weegee is an azz****.
D-COMPOZE

Bitches got served.

shorty

ha……yes they did…omg!

WOWPOOPOO

TWO ALL BEEF PATTIES FOR SURE!!!!! lol
Scott

Is that the metal rod they make the chicken nuggets with? You go Charles Bronson..

bigsteve

LOL

SEE

GOOD! THOSE WOMEN WERE COMPLETELY WRONG, HE WAS PROTECTING HIS SELF, STORE, MONEY AND THEY SURE WON’T DO THAT AGAIN NOW WILL THEY? HUM…..LOL
Ronald Mc

He was just sticking to the slogan “You deserve a BREAK today”

Mark s

too funny
Hold the Metal please

But after that beat-down they couldn’t get away…LMAO

Claudia Colella

What is wrong with people? I hope they all go in the slammer!!!!! And these are the so called “uneducated” folks, that are allowed to walk on the streets and vote! Shame on them!

Dennis Rutherford

These are all bama voters
p, Tom

Claudia , this is the result of the democrats 60 year war on povetty, that has let to the entitlement mentality and these folks are just an example of those that live on the goverment plantation with the Democrats as their slave masters… They do not have to think , ,Just vote for the socialist democrats

Mark s

…and paid to breed these things…
Zig

Are you seriously blaming the Democrats for this?

Jesus Christ, I give up.

The Bobster

He’s right. Neg roes never would’ve dared to act like this 60 years ago.
dsgfsfd

Amen – off yourself sc\/mbag. Dems to blmae for all of it and apparently you as well you worthless piece of garbage

B. Goetz

No one deserves a fractured skull. He went way too far.

Gina Davis

He should have asked then if they wanted fries with that whooping.

Anon

lol!
Joan Hart

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You funny!

jj. A

you never know who you are attacking and how they might defend themselves. just dont go attacking people, because some people hit back a lot harder than you may think
Ann Thomas

WRONG! It WAS a case of self defense! These so called woman, were drunk, slapped the cashier in the face and jumped over the counter to attack him. He was simply defending himself from 2 against one.

CBS should be sued for not only false reporting but reporting the cashiers past criminal record. They reported it was a savage attack, but turns out one loud mouth was not even hurt and the other only slightly.

There is a limit to what abuse you have to take when you are waiting on moronic customers and chances are the $50.00 bill was a fake.

I would have done the same thing, had I been the cashier.

Cee

Well said Ann! If I was the cashier, I would of done the same thing. No job is worth loosing my life and that was assault with 2 people.

I thought news reporting was about being unbiased. The reporter needs to go back and take some journalism classes.

Vigilante Justice

Really. B Goetz? You’d prefer 4 bullets in self defense, to a beating with a metal bar.
Gary Howard

Bernard, I thought you’d died. Welcome back! Shoulda busted a cap in their asses, right?
Casper

Baloney! In restaurant lingo, he should have 86′ed them.
Jdub

No, your dad went way too far when he hooked up with your mom.
Calhoun da anthropologist

Don’t worry, B, they have very thick skulls…, probably won’t suffer any brain damge, but then, who would be able to tell

The Bobster

Their brains are like a peanut inside a bowling ball: very small, hard to find and well protected.

Anonymous

Right. He should have been more careful defending his life. They are lucky to be alive, let alone a fractured skull. They got what they deserved, women or not. Get past your emotions and think for a minute.
scott

You come after me where I work, with a friend, and you’ll wish later that you had only gotten a fractured skull.

nells

They deserved every little bit of what they got. Bet they didn’t expect that! That’s what some of these trifling females get thinking they can step to whomever they want in whatever manner. He went to town! I don’t see what the problem is. Don’t put me on that jury. He would walk!
schooled giggers

Lets see, these 2 whales slap him, jump over the counter and attack a cashier, and he’s the bad guy. He should of dumped the deep fryer over their heads. Good for him, if it goes to court he will get off.

bigsteve

“He should of dumped the deep fryer over their heads.”

i LOLed

Jack Browne

They attacked him first! He was just defending himself! Unbelievable how you guys tried to spin the story. He should sue you for defamation and trying to influence the jury.

Sourpuss

My thoughts exactly. How many prospective jurors might read this article and now have a biased opinion on the case? This guy needs a change of venue for his case to somewhere without the internet. Arkansas maybe?
Smith

I went back and looked, and they carefully phrase what the woman did along the lines of “alleged” and “appears”, while everything the guy did fighting back is couched as definite.

whatthef

Whats the problem? The customers are the ones that are wrong, the guy was defending himself.

How did I know what type of people these were going to be before I even watched the video. Animals should be kept in cages
boogie

How is this considered the McDonalds worker attacking the custumers? The customers jumped over the counter after slapping/assaulting the worker. This article is way too slanted in favor of the customers which is BS
Gina Davis

THOSE WOMEN (ANIMALS) DESERVED WHAT THEY GOT.

I THINK IT’S DISCUSTING HOW CBS IS MAKING HIM SEEM LIKE THE AGGRESSOR.

He was doing his job, and was subjected to verbal then physical (the slap) abuse. Then HE was attacked by those women who jumped over the counter to get him.

He beat them exaclty how he should have.

They were the aggressors and because they got the worst of the attack no one should feel sorry for them.

Kristie

I so agree with you. Any woman who thinks she is “man enough” to start something like this better be ready for a “real man” to finish it. Any jury that convicts this man is incompetent those women started it and they got EXACTLY what they deserved.

John A

Though I do not condone violence most times violence begets violence. Perhaps, in the future, these women will think twice before they assault someone.

bsm

I absolutely condone violence when it comes to these hags attacking him. There is enough recent evidence to show how vicious these types of people can be in public places. What was he supposed to do…Wait for these two dumb bitches to beat or kill him instead???. Like others have said…I would of shot both of them without hesitation. Women can kill someone just as easilly as a man. When they slapped him and jumped the counter…he had no choice but to neutralize the situation, by which he did so convincingly. I hope both these hags are currently in agony.

CBS…you are full of $hit.
