A fight broke out between two teenage girls in a closed bathroom stall at the McDonalds on Niagara Street in the City of Tonawanda.
Police, fire and EMT crews responded shortly after 7 p.m., administering first aid to a girl who sat near the restaurant’s front entrance with a cut to her head while other teens and youths were interviewed by police.
Patron Eddie Mahoney said he heard a ruckus in the ladies room near the rear of the store and was going to help when he saw someone pulling one girl by the feet out from under the closed stall. He could also see blood.
“I’m the one who pulled her out,” James Hinchey, who identified himself as a friend of both girls, said. “They went in there to talk and all of a sudden a customer who was in there using the bathroom comes running out screaming ‘they’re fighting real bad,’ ” he said.
Hinchey said he did not know what might have been to blame for the violence.
Neither did store Manager Felicia Nazario, who said all she knows is that two girls, one of whom works at McDonalds, got into a fight.
“I don’t know what it was about,” she said.
Twin City Ambulance was called, though it was not clear whether either young woman was taken to the hospital.
Police say no charges had been pressed immediately after the incident and that no significant damage was reported to the restaurant.
