A man threw chairs, punched a Happy Meal display and got into a racially-charged shouting match after attacking someone at McDonald's.

UNION SQUARE, MANHATTAN — A wild brawl at the Union Square McDonald's late last year ended with a racially-charged screaming match, a broken Happy Meal display case and an assault arrest, the New York Post reports.
The Dec. 20 fight began when Tyrone George, who was later arrested for the incident, began punching and stomping on a man when he came out of the bathroom in a seemingly unprovoked attack, the Post reports based on video and information from cops.
George punched the man more than a dozen times, dragged him to the front of the eatery and stomped on him even as he lay motionless on the floor and other customers try to intervene, the Post said.

The woman and George can also be heard in a racially-charged screaming match, the Post said about the video.
“Your grandfather was my grandfather’s slave,” the woman yells at George, who calls her a “dirty racist bitch.”
Police told the Post that the man who George punched and stomped on had bruising to his face. George was charged with assault and criminal mischief since he also hit a Happy Meal toy display case, causing the plastic window to break.
