Still frame from video showing incident at McDonald's on West 3rd St. in Greenwich Village...
so whos wrong, whos right? Micky D's cashier brawls with two women over $50
A young woman bludgeoned by an ex-con McDonald's cashier during an argument could have permanent brain damage, her angry mother said Monday.
Denise Darbeau, 24, has been hospitalized since Thursday's violent clash in Greenwich Village, and her prognosis is unclear.
"She has memory loss. She's been heavily sedated. The doctors say it's too early to tell," said Darbeau's mother, who declined to give her name.
Mickey D's employee Rayon McIntosh, 31, used a metal bat to beat Darbeau and pal Rachel Edwards after they jumped behind the counter during a dispute over a $50 bill.
McIntosh is on parole after serving 10 years for manslaughter for shooting and killing a 17-year-old classmate in 2000.
Darbeau's mother said her daughter was unarmed and didn't deserve the beating, some of which occurred while she was helpless on the floor.
"Our concern is the background checks they do at McDonald's," the mother said of McIntosh's employment.
"I believe in second chances. But maybe they should not put people with violent backgrounds dealing with customers."
A McDonald's spokeswoman said its franchisee was fully cooperating with authorities. "We strive to ensure that our McDonald's restaurants are safe and welcoming for our customers," she said.
McIntosh is being held on an assault charge. Darbeau and Edwards were charged with menacing, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.
"My daughter is just your average 24-year-old," her mother said. "She's fun-loving and full of life. We just want our daughter back the way she was.
"We don't know if she will recover. We are just praying for her."
