In a scary confrontation filmed by a diner, a cashier at a McDonald’s
in Manhattan can be seen beating two female customers with a metal rod
after the duo jumped the counter during a dispute early yesterday
morning.
As seen in the above video, Rayon McIntosh, 31, repeatedly struck the
women while they were on the ground behind the counter at the
McDonald’s, which is across from the famed West 4th Street basketball
courts in Greenwich Village.
According to a felony criminal complaint
filed against McIntosh, one woman suffered a “fractured skull requiring
surgery” and a broken bone in her arm during the assault. The second
woman suffered “substantial pain and a laceration,” the complaint
notes.
McIntosh is facing two felony assault counts and a criminal
possession of a weapon charge. The women, who hurtled the counter during
a dispute over their food order, have been hit with menacing,
disorderly conduct, and trespass counts. One woman can be seen on the
video slapping McIntosh in the face.
The criminal complaint, which was sworn by NYPD Officer Danielle
Ambrecht, reports that a police review of McIntosh’s rap sheet revealed
that he “was previously convicted of Manslaughter.” State prison records
show that McIntosh was paroled earlier this year after spending about
10 years in custody.
McIntosh, who is being held in lieu of $40,000 bail, pleaded guilty
in May 2001 to fatally shooting a 17-year-old friend outside a
Westchester mall (McIntosh’s plea came after a jury deadlocked on murder
and manslaughter charges). During his trial, McIntosh testified that he
accidentally fired his .380-caliber handgun as he removed the weapon
from the waistband of his pants. Along with piercing the aorta of high
school student O'shan Litchmore, the bullet struck an eight-year-old boy
in the thigh.
McIntosh, who was 19 at the time of the January 2000 shooting, told
jurors he reached for his gun while walking to a parking lot where he
planned to confront a group of teenagers with whom he had earlier had a
confrontation in the mall's food court.
