A terrifying fight erupted at the McDonald’s at 943 Flatbush Avenue, by Snyder Avenue, on Monday, when four girls were caught on tape viciously beating a teenage victim – but no complaint has been filed with the police, according to a Daily News article published this afternoon.

The Daily News published the video, which you can see here (beware, there’s obviously a lot of violence, as well as swear words, in the video) which shows a smaller girl trying to punch a bigger teen, after which the larger girl and three others proceed to assault the smaller individual inside the McDonald’s that’s located not far from the Erasmus Hall High School building. The video shows at least a couple adults standing by and doing nothing about the brawl before them.

At the end of the video, the victim remains on the ground as someone says, “Yo, she’s dead. It’s a murder.”

According to the Daily News, the police have seen the video but a police source told the newspaper that “there is very little they can do because it doesn’t appear that anyone has filed a complaint.”

A community activist, Tony Herbert, is advocating for the victim to come forward and speak with the police.

“The message has to be sent very clearly, that this kind of violence will not be tolerated whether in a mall or in restaurants and those involved should turn themselves in to authorities immediately so as to face the consequences of their violent actions,” Herbert told the Daily News.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s crime stoppers hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the crime stoppers website or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) and then entering TIP577.

Updated 6:07pm: NBC News reported that the McDonald’s employees immediately attempted to report the incident to police:

Paul Goodman, the Flatbush Avenue McDonald’s franchisee, said his employees contacted the police as soon as the brawl erupted, though it wasn’t clear if they tried 911 or a non-emergency line.

“The safety of my employees and customers is my top priority,” Goodman said in a statement. “As part of the Flatbush community, I will continue to work with the NYPD and community leaders to ensure the safety of customers.”
