Teens 'attack' mum who asks them to leave McDonald's playground

Teenage girls are accused of throwing objects at McDonald’s customers and employees after they were asked to leave the children’s playground.

Police said the incident at the Moreno Valley restaurant in the US state of California caused thousands of dollars worth of damage.

“I was about to get hit in the head. They were throwing them pretty high, too, like they had no aim,” employee Dexter Forbes Jr told KCAL 9.

Mr Forbes said the teens broke a monitor during the fight.

A 28-year-old mother said she asked the teens to leave the kids’ clubhouse, where her two and five-year-old daughters were playing.

“[They were] telling me to get up and fight them, and I said, ‘I’m not gonna fight you’,” the woman, who chose to remain anonymous, told the local news station.

The woman said that after she refused to fight the teens, they started to throw cups of water and ice.

“They kept wanting to fight me. They all started hitting me, and my two little girls were crying,” she told news station KNBC 4.

“My dad realised that they were on me and he pulled me away.”

The mother was reportedly treated for minor injuries.

A manager at the McDonald’s said he couldn’t talk about the incident and referred KCAL 9 to another manager, who did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Yahoo Lifestyle has reached out to the fast food chain.

The teenagers reportedly took off after the incident and have not been found.
