Police say a cashier is to blame for the brutal beating of two women that occurred at a McDonald’s in Greenwich Village, New York City earlier this week. Apparently the two women and the cashier got into an argument over a $50 dollar bill and then the worst happened– the cashier took some sort of bar or pipe and began beating the two women with it. More details and the graphic footage after the jump…
Shocking cell phone footage taken at a Greenwich Village McDonald’s shows a brutal fight between a cashier and two female customers that occurred early Thursday, according to reports.
The argument began around 12:30 a.m. when the cashier, Rayon McIntosh, 31, told the two women — Denise Darbeau, 24, of Queens, and Rachel Edwards, 24, of Brooklyn — that he would have to scan their $50 bill before getting their food, according to DNAinfo.com.
Edwards and Darbeau can be heard in the video swearing at McIntosh and saying, “Do something, p***y.” Then Darbeau escalates the situation by lunging forward and slapping the cashier across the face. McIntosh dives forward to retaliate, and pushes the woman before backing into the restaurant.
Darbeau then jumps over the counter while Edwards walks around the side to confront McIntosh, who reaches out of the frame and grabs a metal rod. Gripping the rod in both hands, McIntosh can then be seen winding up and striking both women repeatedly while they fall to the ground.
Patrons can be heard screaming, with one horrified woman yelling, “Stop it! Stop! Stop! Oh my God,” as the repeated impact of the pipe can be heard in the background. One woman suffered a fractured skull and a broken arm; the other a deep cut on the head, according to reports.
McIntosh is now being held at the Manhattan Detention Center and faces charges of felony assault and criminal possession of a weapon, according to police. He is being held on $40,000 bail.
Edwads and Darbeau face charges of menacing, trespassing and disorderly conduct.
McIntosh began working at the West 3rd St. restaurant after getting out of prison on parole in March, according to reports, after being convicted of manslaughter.
stupid ass title, making it seem like the guy that beat the girl is the total bad guy, those stupid ass nigga ladies……. lol were actin like bitches, women wanted to be treated equal, so they’ll get beat with a metal rod just like a man would
He was arrested? looked like self defense to me, those 2 bitches should have got arrested too!
the first shot or two, i can understand. He kept going. He’d already been convicted of manslaughter so…well you know where that’s going. He’s not completely innocent. But he’s also not the only one guilty. I bet they let the next cashier scan they shit though.
They attacked him over the counter…He has the right to defend himself. Case closed. If the jury see this video its a done deal. I hope his laywer get a copy.
