Police: Pa. man assaults worker over cheeseburger

YORK, Pa. - Police in central Pennsylvania say a man will face charges after assaulting a McDonald's restaurant worker in a rage because there was cheese on his hamburger, which he had apparently wanted plain.

The man knocked over a trash can, threw a high chair, and left the Springettsbury Township restaurant after receiving the sandwich Friday morning, authorities said.

An employee went outside to get his license-plate number, and the man allegedly attacked her as she tried to call 911, police said. He allegedly wrapped his arms around the woman, took the cellphone from her hand, and threw it across the parking lot before fleeing in his vehicle. The employee suffered minor injuries. Police did not identify the irate customer. - AP
