A 15-year-old McDonald’s worker had to undergo surgery after a brutal on-the-job attack. St. Louis police arrested and charged 25-year-old Johnny Ricks after he bashed Ariyah Lynch‘s skull on April 7.
Explained: What Happened To The Teenage McDonald’s Worker
According to local outlet First Alert 4, Ariyah and another teenage McDonald’s worker were on the clock when the incident occurred. The 15-year-old told the outlet that a group was being “loud… obnoxious” in the drive-thru. In response, the fast food employees asked the group to step inside to place their order.
Shortly after, Ricks and a group of adults entered the McDonald’s on ten! They reportedly, per Ariyah, started throwing things and spitting on at least four employees. Ricks, in particular, reportedly broke an electronic menu board after launching a food tray at it.
At that point, things escalated and moved from inside to outside as the employees tried to remove the group from the premises.
