The man in the video carried a small ax through which he disrupted the property. The cause behind the menace is yet to be revealed. At one point, he smashes the ax to the end of a table shattering a glass barrier. In the clip, Michael Palacios approaches several patrons with his ax but did not cause an injury to them. At one point, three men get physical with him as he tries not to react. Others present at the store try to escape unharmed.
 
At one point, one man pleads, “Bro, please! You better chill!” Palacios goes over to one woman who appears to be scared. He shouts, “Don't be afraid of me, be afraid of him!” Palacios continues to destroy furniture and smash the tables. In the video, he punches one of the diners who is sitting at his table with his girlfriend, knocking him to the floor.



 

Other diners present at the McDonald’s store attempt to stop Palacios. Eventually, he feels he made his point as he later simply grabs his backpack, and his bicycle and walks out of the restaurant. The Daily Mail reported that nobody was hurt in the incident, as revealed by the NYPD. Palacios has been charged with criminal mischief, three counts of menacing, and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon

In July, a McDonald’s employee in Brooklyn was pepper sprayed in what appeared to be an attempted robbery. Another incident in August saw a fight over cold French fries leading to the shooting of a McDonald’s worker in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
