Police arrested a man Tuesday morning after he caused a disturbance inside a local fast food restaurant, disrupting business and leaving at least one person injured.
The incident began shortly after 10:30 a.m. on Sunrise Boulevard near Old Auburn Road when a man entered a McDonald’s and began causing a disturbance with customers and then employees. Originally witnesses had called reporting he was not wearing clothes. Police said Wednesday the man was wearing shorts, but no shirt, when officers arrived.
Police said the man forced his way into employee-only areas, and punched at least one person.
Police said the man did not attempt to rob the business, was not armed, and there was no indication drugs or alcohol were involved. Law enforcement noted that mental health issues may have been a factor.
Upon arrival, officers detained the man without incident. The man, described as an adult male, was arrested on charges related to assault and battery. At this time, police do not believe he was a former employee of the restaurant. The incident is still under investigation.
