VIDEO: A McDonald's employee who beat two women with a metal rod has all charges dropped, on account of the women being violent ignorant assholes.

"We were begging them to get security," McIntosh told DNAInfo by phone. "The McDonald's itself is a problematic store. It has a high, concentrated number of people every day. In the Village, it's crazy." He said the NYPD refused to staff the store with officers because it was "wasn't in their financial interest."

The incident at the West 3rd Street restaurant began when the cashier questioned a $50 bill one of the women gave him, the video showed, and the women, identified as Denise Darbeau and Rachael Edwards, became angry and started shouting obscenities. The video showed one of them reaching over the counter to slap McIntosh's face, sending him running toward the kitchen area. He then came back with the metal object.

McIntosh told DNAInfo, "From my perspective, I was very scared. It was two against one. When you're faced with that kind of situation…your self-preservation kicks in. You're going to defend yourself. [Darbeau] put me in a situation where I had no choice."

The two women suffered lacerations, and one suffered a fractured skull and a broken arm, according to a DA's office complaint. The women face charges of menacing, criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct.
