McDonald's customer pulls out axe amidst a fight in the fast-food chain (VIDEO)

This video has shocked viewers ever since it was broadcast on social media. On Saturday 17 September 2022, Fox News reported on the case of the man who attacked customers and equipment at a New York McDonald's with an axe. With the city's crime rate rising steadily and a shooting that occurred in the underground a few months earlier, this new act of violence does not reassure residents.

A fight that gets out of hand

It all began with a simple altercation between a man and three other individuals in a Manhattan McDonald's. The first man, identified by police as Michael Palacios, a 31-year-old New Yorker, got into a fight with three other men. The reason for the fight is not specified, but the video clearly shows the four men exchanging insults.

Despite the fact that some customers try to calm things down, a violent fight breaks out, with the three men directly attacking Michael Palacios, who remains unmoved by the blows. As the three men finally move away and the fight seems to be over, the man who was hit reaches into his bag and pulls out an axe.

Axe blows

Michael Palacios advances, armed with his axe, towards the three individuals with whom he had fought a few seconds earlier. He first attacked the McDonald's equipment, hitting tables, chairs and a window with the axe. The customers experienced a really frightful scene. The police reported that no one was hurt.

The man was arrested and a knife was also found in his bag. For the moment, nothing explains the violence of this altercation which has shocked Internet users. On Twitter, New Yorkers are saddened and comment on this story with 'just a normal day in New York'.
