Two people chase man carrying a pole into New York McDonald’s over allegations involving a minor, then another video surfaces

Two people chased a man carrying a pole into a McDonald’s in Rochester, New York, after accusing him of inappropriate behavior toward a minor. Near Monroe Avenue, the pair shouted accusations at the man and followed him into McDonald’s, as footage of the confrontation shows. Facebook users later shared additional videos that suggest the same man may have faced similar confrontations before.

The original video’s caption claims the man allegedly continued trying to convince an underage girl to spend time with him, even after she told him her age. People commenting on the footage made further allegations about his behavior, although none have been independently verified. The available videos show heated confrontations but do not establish that he approached or touched a minor.

One commenter, Yarii Miranda, identified herself as one of the people involved in the confrontation. She also claimed two previous encounters had ended with people beating the man. No police statement confirming the allegations or establishing whether anyone involved faces charges has been located.

The confrontation moves from the street into McDonald’s

The original video begins with two people confronting a man near a gas station across the street from McDonald’s. The pair follow him toward the restaurant, shouting as he moves away with what appears to be a pole. The argument continues inside the restaurant before the two pursuers leave.

One of the people chasing him accuses him of trying to touch young girls and claims to have already punched him in the mouth. The person also threatens to kill him and challenges him to call the police. The video does not show what happened before the confrontation began or independently establish the accusation.

Still holding the pole, the man eventually approaches the person recording and demands to know why he’s filming without his consent. The person recording responds that he’s filming for his own protection and warns the man not to approach him with the pole again. The man then walks outside, and the recording ends.

Additional footage suggests the man was confronted before

One person, posting as Nope Nope, claimed to have witnessed the confrontation from the gas station across the street. The commenter alleged that someone had caught the man behaving inappropriately toward a child on a previous occasion.

Miranda claimed people had confronted the man twice before. She identified herself and her brother as the people involved in the latest encounter and alleged that all three confrontations ended with someone beating him.

Another video in the discussion appears to show someone attacking the same man along a roadside. A person wearing a gray hoodie threatens him and warns him not to behave inappropriately toward a girl again. The footage does not establish when the confrontation occurred or what prompted it.

Another video shared in the comments appears to show the McDonald’s incident from a different angle, rather than a separate encounter. It captures two people confronting the man as he holds a pole near a storefront, with one repeatedly demanding that he go outside.

Miranda also alleged that nobody contacted police until the confrontation reached McDonald’s. According to her comment, restaurant staff called because the man repeatedly entered the lobby while attempting to get away from the people pursuing him. Neither McDonald’s nor local authorities have publicly confirmed Miranda’s account, based on the information currently available.

The allegations involving a minor and claims of previous confrontations have not been independently verified. The Mary Sue reached out to the Facebook commenter who identified herself as one of the people involved but did not receive a response by the time of publication.
