SHOCKING ATTACK: 15-Year-Old McDonald’s Employee Brutally Assaulted by Angry Customer
In a horrifying incident at a McDonald’s in St Louis County, Missouri, a 15-year-old girl was violently attacked by an enraged customer. The victim, Aryiah Lynch, suffered a fractured skull and other serious injuries after the assailant dragged her by her hair and stomped on her head.
According to police reports obtained by KSDK, the incident occurred when 25-year-old Johnny Ricks became agitated while placing his order at the fast food restaurant. In a fit of anger, Ricks threw a plastic tray at an electronic menu board, causing it to break.
As Lynch and her coworkers attempted to escort Ricks and his group outside, a chaotic brawl erupted. Disturbing footage captured by KMOV shows Ricks dragging Lynch by her braids, then using his foot to repeatedly stomp on her head while she lay defenseless on the ground.
Lynch was rushed to a nearby hospital in St Louis, Missouri, on April 8th. Her injuries included a skull fracture, frontal lobe damage, a broken nose, numerous lacerations, and a concussion. The severity of her condition is evident, and her mother, Shawnunique Phillips, has set up a GoFundMe page to support her daughter’s recovery.
Speaking out about the incident, Lynch expressed her shock and disbelief. “I wasn’t prepared for what was gonna happen… I was just trying to protect myself in the moment,” she told First Alert 4. Despite the traumatic experience, Lynch underwent successful surgery on Wednesday and is determined to remain positive during her long road to recovery.
This appalling act of violence has shocked the community and serves as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by workers in the service industry. Authorities are investigating the incident and will ensure that justice is served for Aryiah Lynch.
