Girl attacked at Los Angeles McDonald's as people pulled out phones to record
A teen girl was viciously attacked at a McDonald's in Los Angeles' Harbor City neighborhood.
A teenage girl was attacked at a Southern California McDonald's, and the brawl is circulating in viral videos after bystanders opted to record the action rather than intervene.
Kassidy Jones told FOX 11 Los Angeles that she and her classmates stopped by the fast-food restaurant on their way home from school on Sept. 6. The 13-year-old said it was there where an unidentified woman cornered her and then started attacking her.
"What the F are y'all looking at? I fight kids. I fight you," Kassidy recalled the woman saying to her.
Kassidy said she does not know the suspect, who can be seen in videos obtained by FOX 11 dragging Kassidy to the floor, punching her and pulling her by her hair.

The crowd can be heard yelling and seen recording the incident on their phones. The only person seen coming to Kassidy's aid was a man who reportedly was with the suspect.
Kassidy's mother called police and rushed her daughter to the hospital. A photo from after the incident showed her with swelling and bruises.
