South Euclid McDonald’s Brawl Caught on Camera: 4 Teens Arrested
A violent brawl at a McDonald’s in South Euclid last month led to four arrests and prompted significant changes at the restaurant, including new service hours. The incident, which took place around 5 p.m. on October 22, involved a group of teen girls fighting behind the counter. Exclusive video obtained by 3News shows the disturbing altercation, which witnesses say began when the suspects attacked two teen sisters, who claimed not to know their assailants.
When police arrived, the chaos caused by the fight sent around 40 kids fleeing the scene. As a result, four teenage girls were arrested, with some as young as 10 years old facing charges of failure to disperse. Authorities have indicated that charges such as aggravated riot or endangering children could be filed against others involved.
Following the fight, McDonald’s management altered its service hours, closing the inside lobby to customers between 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. each day, forcing customers to use the drive-thru. The restaurant’s decision was made to allow time for the investigation and to address the disruption caused by the violent incident.
