you don't know if she was nearly beat to death, he could have been hitting her

New York (CNN) -- A cashier at a New York fast food restaurant has been charged with felony assault for beating two unruly customers with a metal object during an argument.

The women remain hospitalized in serious condition, police said.

The incident occurred at a McDonald's on West 3rd Street about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday.

The two 24-year-old women entered the store, placed their order and then began arguing with the cashier, 31-year-old Rayon McIntosh, police said.

CNN affiliate WCBS said the altercation began when the cashier questioned a $50 bill the women gave him. They responded by hurling obscenities at him.

A cell phone video shows how the situation quickly escalated.

One of the women curses at the cashier, then reaches over and slaps his face.

The woman then climbs over the counter, sending the cashier running toward the kitchen area. The other woman walks around to join her friend.

The cashier then suddenly reappears with what police described as a metal object and repeatedly hits the women.

Restaurant patrons scream for him to stop, while other employees try to intervene.

The video, one minute and 10 seconds long, shows the cashier hitting the women 10 times as they lay on the floor.

"Stop! Stop!" one woman screams. "Stop it! Call the cops!"

The cashier would pause and begin again every time the women tried to get up.

The two women suffered lacerations to their head and face and were taken to a hospital, police said. CNN affiliates said one had a fractured skull and a broken arm; the other had a deep laceration

Authorities identified them as Denise Darbeau and Rachael Edwards, and charged them with menacing, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.

The franchise owner Carmen Paulino told CNN affiliate WABC that the cashier no longer works at the restaurant.

"I am extremely disturbed by the events captured on tape and am concerned for those injured," Paulino said. "The actions of this individual are unacceptale and not characteristic of my employees."

McDonald's too released a statement, saying the franchisee is cooperating with the investigation.

"The violence in this video is alarming and reprehensible," it said.

The guy that jumped over the counter started it by hitting the MCD employee

I show no remorse for thugs who ask for it and then get beat the fuck up.

I too think the law got it wrong...

Imagine if one of the two parties were white, then how would the reactions be?

African American people never seize to disappoint their stereotype...

You're right, it could have been anyone but it wasn't

His criminal past has no relevance for this situation and is only used to entice an emotional response so you'd jump on the bandwagon against him.

Shall we talk about how your fellow Israelis are mercilessly killing palestinians?

Should I go there? It seems like you're asking for it. . .it really does.

If the customers instigated the fight, then they deserved it, but if it was the employee then damn.

He was down already and got hit more.. excessive. Not warranted to continue the beating. Self Defense is one thing, this is Assault. You can clearly see the worker crossed the line. When the first hit knocks them down, it doesn't take a few more.

Then again, they could've gotten back up and kept coming at him.

Imagine if the worker was white.
Hate crime.

Why people think they can treat cashiers like shit i don't know. Oh wait, the company didn't have his back? The law didn't have his back? None of the employees had his back? Oh that's right. Cashiers are subhuman scum who exist only to serve and handle every customers bullshit without question. And if they don't they'll probably get fired.

If I was the guy and i had a metal rod i probably would've done the same thing. People are Farking crazy. That bitch could've been coming behind the counter with a knife or a gun so when you have them on the ground you want to put them in a state where they can't easily get up and retaliate. I feel like every company should have a policy that insist if a customer steps behind the counter lethal force can be applied to remove or deter them. Then maybe people would think twice before total cunts. They probably won't cause they're cunts but at last you'll be able to defend yourself without fear of going to jail.


the company will probably fire you though.

If you're a cashier and you don't like putting up with people's shit... Quit. We have that freedom here in America to do so. Other wise, it's your job to take shit and be respectful. (unrelated to the video)

And in the fantasy world where houses pay for themselves, food magically appears on tables and university fees don't exist than maybe they could just quit. In some places finding a job is incredibly hard to do and you have to take what you can get. No one deserves to be an outlet for someone else's rage, I've heard some stories from friends of mine who do customer service and the way they get treated is outrageous.
