Young mother stabbed twice as she held her 10-month-old baby by her former boss who flew 3,000km to carry out the attack

A baker who travelled almost 3,000km and stabbed a young mother twice while she was holding her baby boy is set to be extradited from South Australia to Queensland.
Jason Wayne Greatbatch, 35, flew from his hometown of Ceduna, north-west of Adelaide, to Mackay before driving to 33km to a home at rural Kuttabul on Monday, The Courier Mail reported. 


 During the early morning attack, police say the 35-year-old also stabbed Ms Moore's (pictured) 23-year-old fiance, Jake Burgess, once after he confronted Greatbatch in the backyard

At the Sorensens Road home, Greatbatch, who was armed with a knife, allegedly stabbed Teagan Moore, 21, twice in the torso, which caused her to drop her 10-month-old son who she was cradling in her arms.
During the early morning attack, police say the 35-year-old also stabbed Ms Moore's 23-year-old fiance, Jake Burgess, once in the torso after he confronted Greatbatch in the backyard.

The young family were taken to Mackay Base Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
Their accused attacker was arrested at Adelaide Airport after he fled the scene and will be extradited from South Australia later this week.
Greatbatch was charged with attempted murder, enter dwelling with intent, acts intended to maim and assault.

He will appear in Mackay Magistrates Court in January.
Police are still working on the relationship between Ms Moore and Greatbatch.
But former employers of Ceduna Bakery told The Courier Mail the baker had spent the past few weeks ringing around trying to locate the young mother who had previously worked for him.
During a hearing at Adelaide Magistrates Court on Tuesday, Greatbatch did not want a lawyer to represent him and told the magistrate he did not want to be extradited.

Police officers are arrested for murdering five youths in Brazil after 'raking their car with gunfire... then planting weapon to make it look like self-defence'



 Disturbing images taken on the phones of bystanders shows the bullet-riddled vehicle and the bodies inside

Three police officers have been arrested for murder in Brazil over a savage shooting in which a car packed with youths was raked with gunfire.
All five victims, aged between 16 and 25, were left slumped in pools of blood after their car was peppered with at least 30 bullets while driving through a violent neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro. 
The police have also been accused of planting a weapon next to their bodies in an attempt to make the killings look like self-defence.
Disturbing images taken on the phones of bystanders shows the bullet-riddled vehicle and the blood-soaked dead bodies inside.
Horrified locals can be seen crying and shouting at the police officers who stand motionless near the vehicle.
According to family members of the victims, the young men were going home after a party on a Saturday night. 
Four of the officers have so far been arrested for their involvement in the case, three of whom are now accused of homicide and fraud.
They have been identified as Resende Viana Barbosa, Marcio Darcy Alves dos Santos and Antonio Carlos Goncalves Filho. 
The fourth officer, Fabio Pizza Oliveira da Silva, has been detained solely for fraud.
The fraud allegations came after a witness reported seeing the police officer plant a gun inside the car to pretend they were defending themselves after being shot at.
The victims were identified as Roberto de Souza and Carlos Eduardo da Silva Souza, both 16, Cleiton Correa de Souza, 18, Wesley Castro, 25, and 20-year-old Wilton Esteves Domingos Junior.
Family members of the victims said none of the youths had any dealings with drug trafficking groups operating in the region.

'This attack is just the start': ISIS claims responsibility for terror atrocities in Paris that killed at least 127 people






ISIS has claimed responsibility for the coordinated terror attacks in Paris which killed at least 127 people, and warned that more will follow.
A statement released by the extremist group said it masterminded the horrifying attacks on the French capital in revenge for 'insulting' the prophet MuFhammad.
The terror group singled out France for its involvement in the bombing campaign against ISIS territory in Iraq and Syria and said it murdered French citizens because the nation 'boasted' about its military contribution.
French president Francois Hollande also said ISIS were behind the attacks, which he called 'an act of war'. 
The statement, released Saturday morning as horror continued to mount at the slew of killings, said the bombing attack on the Stade de France was aimed specifically at Hollande.
Explaining its targets, the statement said: 'eight brothers equipped with explosive belts and assault rifles attacked precisely chosen targets in the centre of the capital of France.
'These targets included the Stade de France stadium during a soccer match - between the teams of Germany and France, both of which are crusader nations - attended by the imbecile of France (Francois Hollande).
'The targets included the Bataclan theatre for exhibitions, where hundreds of idolaters gathered for a concert of prostitution and vice. There were also simultaneous attacks in the tenth, eleventh and eighteenth districts, and elsewhere.
Paris was thereby shaken beneath the crusaders' feet, who were constricted by its streets.' They claimed 200 people died in the attacks, though official estimates have so far given a lower total. 
The claim - which appeared to be authentic - came after Hollande declared the attacks 'an act of war' and promised to respond.




Terminal at London airport evacuated after armed police arrest a man with a 'grenade in his bag'



Gatwick North Terminal has been evacuated after a terror scare. Witnesses said that armed police arrested a man with a 'gun in a bag'. They screamed 'get down, get down' as they restrained him.


Hollande vows to strike back after ISIS kill 127 in Paris






France was in a nationwide state of emergency today after at least 127 people were killed in a series of coordinated terror attacks in the heart of Paris that have paralysed the country. At least eight militants, all wearing suicide vests, brought unprecedented violence to the streets of the French capital in the bloodiest attack in Europe since the Madrid train bombings in 2004. Armed with AK47 machine guns and shouting 'Allahu Akbar', four of the group marched into a rock concert at the Bataclan theatre, massacring up to 100 people and taking dozens hostage. Chilling footage emerged showing the moment terrified concert-goers left a trail of blood in their wake as they dragged their friends along a street (centre) while a woman clung desperately to a window ledge (left and right) while trying to flee the carnage. Another 11 people were gunned down at a Cambodian restaurant while two suicide bombers blew themselves up outside the Stade de France sports stadium where Francois Hollande was watching the French football team play Germany. The French President has vowed to strike back 'mercilessly after the worst attacks in France since the Second World War which left bodies littered in streets across the city (inset) and declared three days of national mourning. 


Animals responsible for these should be brought to justice!!! Terrorism has no religion.

The majority of victims died after a mass shooting inside the Bataclan concert venue.Shootings also took place in restaurants and other sites in the centre of the city.

His spokeswoman said eight assailants had also died, seven of whom had blown themselves up with explosive belts at various locations, while one had been shot dead by police.

Police continue to search for accomplices who might still be at large.

Jihadi John 'evaporated' by a US drone strike: Pentagon working to confirm if Britain's ISIS executioner has been killed in a 'flawless clean hit' while climbing into a vehicle in Raqqa




 Emwazi, aged 15, in the playground of Qunitin Kynaston Academy in North London, in May 2004

American forces have carried out an air strike in Syria which has reportedly killed Jihadi John.
Officials in the US are scrambling to confirm whether he has been killed, following the drone attack in Raqqa, Islamic State's capital.
But one defence official told ABC News that the British Isis militant, whose real name is Mohammed Emwazi, 'evaporated' after a 'flawless' and 'clean hit' as he left a building and climbed into a vehicle.
Pentagon Press secretary Peter Cook said:  'US forces conducted an airstrike in Raqqa, Syria, on November 12, 2015 targeting Mohamed Emwazi, also known as 'Jihadi John'. 
'We are assessing the results of tonight's operation and will provide additional information as and where appropriate.'
A senior US defence official told CNN that they knew it was Emwazi before they struck in a mission he described as involving 'persistent surveillance'. Another British jihadi may been caught in the strike too, according to The Washington Post.
Emwazi, 27, carried out a number of beheadings of Western hostages in Syria and was top of the UK Govenrment's 'kill list' of up to a dozen British radicals whom ministers want taken out with targeted drone strikes.
Russia had always made capturing the Kuwaiti-born man a priority.
He has been the subject of a manhunt for more than a year, after he first appeared in a beheading video in August 2014.
He is believed to have been involved in the murders of British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning, American journalists Steven Sotloff and James Foley, American aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig (also known as Peter Kassig) and Japanese journalist Kenji Goto.
In the videos, the tall masked figure was clad in black and speaking in a British accent. 
He began one of the gruesome videos with a political rant and a kneeling hostage before him, then ended it holding a large knife in his hand with the headless victim lying before him in the sand.
Journalist Sotloff's mother, Shirley Sotloff was unaware of the air strikes, but said Emwazi's death would not bring closure. 



 Emwazi has been the subject of a manhunt for more than a year, after he first appeared in a beheading video, dressed all in black, in August 2014

She told NBC News: 'If they got him great. But it doesn't bring my son back.' 
Diane Foley, the mother of James Foley, who previously said she had forgiven Emwazi, told ABC News: 'This huge effort to go after the this deranged man filled with hate when they can't make half that effort to save the hostages while these young Americans were still alive.' 
A Downing Street spokeswoman said: 'We are aware of the US statement about the air strike targeting Mohamed Emwazi. Like them, we are not commenting further at this stage.' 
In September the MailOnline revealed that Emwazi had a crippling fear of being killed in a drone attack and shielded himself behind civilians in the hope it will stop him being targeted.
Two visitors to ISIS territory described how he and his depraved cohorts fled onto a football pitch packed with civilians in a desperate attempt to dodge a drone attack.
Emwazi emigrated with his family to London in 1994, aged six. He attended Qunitin Kynaston Academy and then went on to study computer programming at the University of Westminster, graduating in 2009.
He was reported missing in August 2013 and it was confirmed in December that year that he had travelled to Syria. 
He had been known to MI5 and was detained a number of times in 2009, but never charged. 
It was believed that he had been a member terrorist supporters and was in contact with one of the men involved in the London 7/7 bombings in 2005, two weeks after the attacks which killed 52 people.

Donald Trump compares Ben Carson to a CHILD MOLESTER suggesting that the 'pathological temper' that drove him to try and stab someone as a boy cannot be cured





Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said in an interview Thursday that rival Ben Carson has a 'pathological temper' that can't be cured any more than a child molester can be cured.
In Iowa he continued the strong criticism, telling people at a rally that he didn't believe Carson's story of his religious awakening and questioned his tale of nearly stabbing a friend.
'How stupid are the people of Iowa?' Trump bellowed during a rally at Iowa Central Community College. 
'How stupid are the people of this country to believe this crap?
In an interview with CNN, the businessman pointed to Carson's own descriptions of his 'pathological temper" as a young man.
'That's a big problem because you don't cure that,' Trump said. 
'That's like, you know, I could say, they say you don't cure — as an example, child molester. You don't cure these people. You don't cure the child molester.' 
Trump also said that 'pathological is a very serious disease.'
CNN's Erin Burnett asked Trump if he was satisfied by Carson's assurances that his anger was in the past, and Trump said he didn't know. 
'You'll have to ask him that question,' he said according to a CNN report on the interview. 
'Look, I hope he's fine because I think it would be a shame.'
Asked for comment on Trump's remarks about Carson's temper, a spokesman for Carson's campaign said it had no comment.
In his book Gifted Hands, Carson described the uncontrollable anger he felt at times while growing up in inner-city Detroit. 
He wrote that on one occasion he nearly punched his mother and on another he attempted to stab a friend with a knife.



 In his book Gifted Hands, Carson (above on Wednesday) writes of trying to stab a boy with a knife because of his temper, but hitting his belt buckle
 
'I had what I only can label a pathological temper — a disease — and this sickness controlled me, making me totally irrational,' Carson said in describing the incident with his mother. 
He referred to 'pathological anger' again in telling about lunging at his friend, the knife blade breaking off when it hit the boy's belt buckle.
Carson's ability to overcome his anger as well as an impoverished childhood to become a world-renowned neurosurgeon has been a central chapter in his personal story.
During the rally Thursday night in Fort Dodge, Trump told the crowd that 'Carson's an enigma to me' and questioned story after story in Carson's biography. 
He acted out the scene of Carson trying to stab his friend, lurching forward and shouting, 'but, low and behold, it hit the belt!'
Carson describes in Gifted Hands racing to the bathroom in his house after the near-stabbing incident and in time began to pray for God's help in dealing with his temper. 
'During those hours alone in the bathroom, something happened to me,' he wrote. 
'God heard my deep cries of anguish. A feeling of lightness flowed over me, and I knew a change of heart had taken place. I felt different. I was different.'
In questioning Carson's religious awakening, Trump said in Fort Dodge that Carson went into the bathroom and came out and 'now he's religious.'
'And the people of Iowa believe him. Give me a break. Give me a break. It doesn't happen that way,' he said. 
'Don't be fools.'
Carly Fiorina joined the fray soon after, posting a message on Facebook attacking Trump.
'Donald, sorry, I've got to interrupt again,' she wrote, mocking the comment he made to her a Tuesday's Republican debate. 
'You would know something about pathological. How was that meeting with Putin? Or Wharton? Or your self funded campaign? 
'Anyone can turn a multi-million dollar inheritance into more money, but all the money in the world won't make you as smart as Ben Carson.'

Restaurant responds to woman's bad review online by telling her she doesn't know about 'real Vietnamese food' - and she hits back because she IS Vietnamese








A Vietnamese woman who wrote a bad online review about a restaurant has entered into a bitter argument with its staff on social media after they suggested she did not know her own country's cuisine.
Julie Tran reviewed Vietnamese restaurant in Auckland, New Zealand, giving it poor feedback for what she said was under-cooked food, disproportionately high prices and bad service.
She sat down for a meal of spring rolls, pho - a type of Vietnamese soup, and pork chop rice with her boyfriend but she she believed the food and service were not up to standard.
The restaurant, Miss Saigon Cafe & Restaurant, apologised for the under-cooked food but also hit back at the 2.5 star review on Zomato.com.
A staff member wrote to Ms Tran: 'We only do real Vietnamese food that our customers come back for time and time again. Sure write about the pork chop, but don't judge a type of cuisine you know nothing about'.
Ms Tran then pointed out she had grown up in Vietnam and was confident she knew what food from the country tasted like and how much she should pay for it.
'I also have every reason to believe that I have not been eating FAKE Vietnamese food in Vietnam for almost my whole life,' she wrote. 
She was then told by the Miss Saigon Cafe & Restaurant Zomato account: 'many young Vietnamese have no interest in traditional cuisine, which you demonstrated in your review by not knowing the name of one of the most popular dishes in the country'. 





She swiftly replied by demonstrating her knowledge of Vietnamese food names before saying she had named them in English to avoid confusion with other English speakers on the website.
After criticising they way the issue was handled, she said it was no longer about the food.
'The food is not a problem anymore, it is now the attitude towards customers. And if you think that your apology is to precious please keep it deep deep down your heart coz its not necessary anymore [sic],' Ms Tran wrote on Zomato.
Angered by the way the issue was handled, she lowered her review to one star.
She said she would never return to the restaurant and recommended nobody else try it.
Her review also sparked debate on the website, receiving more than 70 comments from supporters and detractors of the restaurant. 
A Miss Saigon employee told Daily Mail Australia he was unable to comment and said his manager was busy and unable to comment.
Ms Tran's Zomato account shows she has reviewed 40 establishments, giving mainly four stars or higher for most.
She has only given out one other one star review

Chicago gang members murder top black model, they drove up to her and shot her in the face


Model, Kaylyn Pryor, was shot and killed in Chicago on Monday Nov 2nd 

A little over a month ago, the Chi-town beauty won an esteemed modeling competition - in front of 1,000 fans during a fashion show at the Redmoon Warehouse in Chicago.
20-year-old Kaylyn won Mario Tricoci’s "Mario, Make Me a Model" contest on Sept. 24, and before her career could take off - she was gunned down in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood Monday night.
It happened when Kaylyn was leaving her grandparent's house with a 15-year-old boy, and a car pulled up. The driver then wound down the window, opened fire and drove off.
Pryor and the boy were then taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, but she died a short time later. Police have no suspects in the case.


Divorcee is scammed out of £4,000 by Nigerian 'fiancé' who proposed one month after they met online - telling her he needed the cash so he could be with her in the UK




 Sheila agreed to marry Glen after he proposed in an email even though they had never met. She then transferred £4,000 to him so he could set up a business when they started their life together

A divorcée in her sixties has revealed how she was duped by an online con artist who targeted her through a reputable dating website.
The woman, revealed only as Sheila, told Channel 5 show Secrets Of The Scammers how she was contacted by a man claiming to be called Glen Almond and got caught up in a whirlwind romance.
She ended up giving away £4,000 before she discovered she was the victim of an elaborate scam based in Nigeria. Even to this day, Sheila has no idea who she was actually talking to or where her money went.
She had believed Glen was who he claimed to be when he first contacted her online and sent her his picture. 
She said: 'As soon as I opened the email and saw his photo it was love at first sight, we spent time chatting with emails going backwards and forwards getting to know each other. He was very charming and romantic.' 
Glen told Sheila he was a captain in the Canadian Navy and was a widow currently based in Afghanistan as a medical doctor working in a field hospital.
'So there was a genuine reason why we couldn't meet,' said Sheila, who had been looking for love again following the end of her marriage and had hoped to find it using dating websites.
Via email, her romance with Glen quickly blossomed and she was delighted when he popped the question - only a month after he first contacted her.
She recalled: He proposed on Valentine's Day, it was so romantic. I thought "yes!".'
She admits she knows it was rash but 'you get to my age and time isn't on our side anymore, you can't be pussy-footing around like young teenagers so I said yes.'
The couple then started planning their future together. Glen told Sheila his time in Afghanistan could be coming to an end in a matter of weeks and he would move to the UK to be with her.
He said he planned to set up his own business there importing goods from the Far East.
Sheila said: 'We were planning to walk off into the sunset hand-in-hand and live happily ever after.'
But Glen told Sheila that in order for his business to be a success, he needed her help financially. He said a payment had to be made right away in order for them to get the goods he needed from a supplier - and that he couldn't make the transaction from Afghanistan.
Sheila said she didn't know anything about his business but 'I thought we were to be a husband and wife team and I would support him in any way I could.
'He told me our whole future was at stake if he didn't pay and we risked losing everything.'
Desperate to help the man she loved, Sheila was able to sell some shares and delve into her savings to give £4,000 in total to Glen. 
She also put her house on the market so they would have some money to buy a new place together.
It was only thanks to sharing her excitement over the plan with a prospective buyer that she discovered she had been conned. 
She recalled: 'As I was showing prospective buyers around my house I was so excited as Glen was due to be coming home tomorrow. I couldn't help telling them all about it and showed them Glen's picture on my laptop.'
The prospective buyer was a former soldier himself and was suspicious of Sheila's situation.
After doing some research of his own, his fears were confirmed and he contacted Sheila and told her she had been duped. 
Sheila said :'The moment I found out it was a fake profile and it wasn't for real I was emotionally devastated. My whole world fell apart. 
'I contacted the police who found I was one of hundreds of victims of this professional, international scam and they traced it back to Nigeria. 
'I have no idea to this day who I was corresponding with. Someone out there in the world was writing these emails and I have no idea who it was.'



 Sheila admits she fell head over heels with a man she met online after he sent her handsome photos and romantic messages. She believed he was real and they would live 'happily ever after'


Alexis Conran, presenter of Secret Of The Scammers, was able to track down a reformed Nigerian con artist who was part of a team perating dating scams like that experienced by Sheila. 
The remorseful scammer called Kingsley admitted that divorcees were deliberately targetted because they are often emotionally vulnerable and easy to manipulate.
He said: 'I mostly made money through romance scams, we would pretend to be interested in dating them and along the line we con them out of money using various methods.
'We are looking for someone who is divorced as there is always an emotional attachment, they feel some sort of emptiness.'
He said they would send the woman a picture of a handsome man they would 'fall for' and concoct a back story about their life. He said they often pretended to have a military background as this is attractive to women and gives them a plausible reason why they can't meet.
He said: 'Most women say they want security and someone with a good job. One of the best jobs we believe is in the military and with a military man you can say you are travelling. It is a game of emotions.'
He added that you have to dedicate time to each 'mark' and he would only be in contact with a maximum of five women at a time so his lies didn't get confused.
'The more time you spend on them the more attached they become and then the sooner you will get money, sometimes it is only between one and three months,' he said. 
'If you want to stay organised I would limit it to between one and five, when you are lying to them you don't want to forget anything.'
Kingsley admitted he is now sorry for what he has done and is no longer working as a scammer and regrets duping women out of their life savings. 
He said: 'A lot of people have been permanently damaged and some will not recover, if I had the chance to undo everything I would.'

Hilton faces $25,000 fine over allegations it blocked guests' personal wifi hotspots unless they paid a $500 fee




 
Hilton – one of the world’s largest hotel chains – is facing a $25,000 government fine after it was accused of blocking guests’ personal wifi hotspots.
In an order released this week, the Federal Communications Commission’s enforcement bureau proposed the five-figure penalty for the company’s ‘apparent obstruction’ of an investigation into claims it tried to charge customers a $500 (£325) fee.
While $25,000 (£16,000) may seem like a lot of money to the average person, the amount is a small sum for a global company that has annual sales of about $10bn (£6.5bn).
The fine could increase, however, as the FCC ordered Hilton to provide ‘essential information’ and documents about its wifi management practices.
It warned the hotel chain – whose brands include Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, DoubleTree, and Hampton – it may face ‘a significantly higher fine for any continued obstruction or delay’.
A Hilton spokeswoman told MailOnline that the company ‘strongly disagrees’ with the enforcement bureau’s decision.


 A guest claimed a Hilton blocked visitors’ wifi hotspots unless they paid a $500 fee to access the hotel’s wifi

The spokeswoman added: ‘Hilton supports open access to private wifi networks for our customers through their personal devices, while at the same time protecting their personal information
‘We have a policy in place that states our commitment to secure open access and prohibits hotels from blocking wifi, and it is repeatedly communicated to all properties.’
The company claims it has co-operated with the FCC throughout its investigation, and provided ‘extensive background and details in a timely and efficient manner’.
The spokeswoman added: ‘We believe that the FCC has no basis for vastly expanding the initial inquiry based on a single complaint at a single Hilton hotel.’
The investigation stems from an August 2014 complaint that was made by a guest who claimed a Hilton in Anaheim, California, blocked visitors’ wifi hotspots unless they paid a $500 fee to access the hotel’s wifi.
The practice was allegedly in use at other Hilton hotels, as the FCC said it had received complaints that other locations had broken a federal law that prohibits people and companies from maliciously blocking wifi.
In November 2014 the FCC sent a letter to Hilton demanding information related to basic company information, relevant corporate policies and wifi management practices at its hotels in the US.
This week, the regulator claimed Hilton has failed to hand over the information ‘for the vast majority of its properties’.
Travis LeBlanc, chief of the FCC enforcement bureau, said in a statement: ‘Hotel guests deserve to have their Wi-Fi blocking complaints investigated by the commission.
‘To permit any company to unilaterally redefine the scope of our investigation would undermine the independent search for the truth and the due administration of the law.’
This is not the first time the FCC has penalized a company for blocking wifi connections.
Last year Marriott, another hotel chain, was hit with a $600,000 fine for jamming wifi at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center in Nashville.
In August the FCC handed a $750,000 fine to Smart City Holdings for wifi blocking at convention centers.
Earlier this week the regulator proposed a $718,000 fine for M.C. Dean for apparent wifi blocking at the Baltimore Convention Center. 



Shocking moment a fight between a McDonald's drive-thru employee and an unhappy customer caught on video






A McDonald's drive-thru employee and an unhappy customer exchanged several blows in a brutal fight Monday night and it was all caught on camera.
The shocking footage was filmed by Gabe Hart, another customer who pulled in to the drive-thru to snag a Big Mac at one of the restaurant's locations in northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota.
'I hadn't eaten much since lunch time, and I was driving by a McDonald's , so I thought I'd just swing in and pick up a Big Mac,' Hart told LiveLeak.
'At first I was annoyed the guy in front of me was taking so long, he seemed pretty upset to begin with.
'It looked like when the McDonald's guy handed him his cash and change back he dropped some of the dude's change.
'That's when he got out of his car, spit on the drive through window and tried to punch the McDonald's and that's when I started recording.'
The footage starts with the driver, who is wearing shorts, dragging the employee nearly half way out of the restaurant's small window by his uniform tie. 
The customer pulls hard on the tie, while the black male employee delivers a number of punches to the man's head. 
As another team member at the restaurant is behind him, the employee involved in the fight can be heard on tape yelling, 'Man, he got my m******-f****** tie.'
The female worker can then be heard shouting that she is calling the police and appears to be trying to pull her colleague back. 
At the same time, the employee grips the customer's head and appears to be trying to pull him inside through the window while saying, 'Get your a** in here.' 
The customer continues to pull hard on the employee's uniform tie as the pair does not stop fighting. 
The female employee can then be heard yelling, 'Dude, what the f***,' as she still tries to reach to get her colleague to end the fight. 
The sound on the footage becomes slightly inaudible, as the customer says something to the employee who responded by saying, 'When you let go of my tie, I'm f***** you up.'
After the customer ends up on the ground while still pulling hard on the employee's tie, he attempts to kick upwards at the man's head. 
Shortly after, the customer loses his grip and the pair finally separate as the video ends. 
It's unclear if the police were actually called or if they ever showed up to the scene.
The identity of the McDonald's employee involved in the brutal fight is unknown. 
Mail Online has contacted both McDonald's and the Minneapolis Police Department seeking comment.




WTH!!!! Dog made to wear a DIAPER after neighbor in apartment below complained that it was urinating onto his patio




A phone cord was tied tightly around the hound's mouth and nose to stop it from whining, but this was then replaced with a thick rubber band



A dog had its jaw bound with a rubber band and a diaper taped to its hind legs after a neighbor complained it had been left on a small balcony.
The dog had been outside for three days and urine and feces had been falling onto the patio below at a Houston condo complex, it has been claimed.
According to a post on an animal rescue Facebook page, the neighbor told the man living above him: 'Hey, you need to actually walk your dog. You've left him on that wood-plank floored porch for the past three days, and the dog's p*** and everything else is dripping down on my head when I'm sitting on my patio below.'
The following day, the dog was seen with a diaper attached to its legs with duct tape, which was left on for several days.
A phone cord was tied tightly around the hound's mouth and nose, to stop it from whining, but this was then replaced with a thick rubber band.
 



 The dog had a band tied around its jaw and was left outside on the balcony at a condo complex in Houston


The author of the Facebook post - a private investigator - wrote: 'Not only that, but when my girlfriend climbed up the side of the building to get these photos of the dog, it was learned that the poor guy has a huge, untreated and abscessed gash across its back and leg.
'The dog had no food or water dish visible.'
Neighbors claim the dog has a broken or badly injured leg and it is believed there are two pit bulls in the property also.
A group of angry residents contacted the Harris County Sheriff's Department and demanded a deputy be dispatched.
In an audio purportedly of a conversation with an officer, he can be heard saying: 'It's not his dog to make that decision. He's talking to the owner of the dog so everything is being taken care of.
'Tell everybody on Facebook, don't worry, everything is being taken care of and they'll stop messaging me.'
A petition has been signed by more than 4,000 people calling for the dog to be rescued and justice to be brought against those responsible. 


How Lamar Odom turned on Khloe Kardashian: Families at war and accusations she exploited him take a toll as former NBA star recovers in hospital







Lamar Odom has reportedly kicked Khloe Kardashian out of his hospital room.
The former NBA star, who is recovering at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles, told his estranged wife he needed space, according to the November 16 issue of Us Weekly.
The rift was said to have been created by 35-year-old Lamar's close friends and family, who told him the reality star had been exploiting his tragic overdose for publicity.
A source told Us Weekly that the athlete's inner circle had turned him against Khloe with claims she had tipped off paparazzi to document the Kardashian family's comings and goings at the hospital.
In addition Lamar is said to have been led to believe that his estranged wife has taken credit for his miraculous recovery after a series of strokes - related to his drug overdose - and blocked members of his family and inner circle of friends from visiting him in the hospital.
Under the influence of these allegations, the publication claims Lamar was fed up and told Khloe on October 23 he 'needed space' and 'wanted to be alone' before telling her to 'get out'.
Lamar's father Joe claimed last week that he was not permitted to see his son. The patriarch ranted to TMZ that Khloe was to blame for blocking him at the facility, even though he had flown out from Las Vegas just to see the former NBA great, who needs a new kidney.
But a source told DailyMail.com at the time that Khloe has 'zero control over who can visit Lamar at the LA hospital' and she was not even at the facility when Joe came by.
The insider clarified that the blonde beauty 'only had control over visitors was when he was in a coma in Nevada.'
That means that the visitor list at the LA hospital is only approved by Lamar himself and the medical staff at Cedars.





However, in the recent report by Us Weekly, members of Odom's family were allegedly forced by Khloe to sign confidentiality waivers before being allowed to see the former basketball great when visiting him in Las Vegas.
Odom's cousin Sherae Clark-Williams posted on Facebook on October 16: 'I'm supposed to sign a waiver not to talk about North West, a child I have no interest in What so ever.' The date coincides with Odom's hospitalization in Nevada following his weekend bender - he was rushed to hospital on October 13 when he was found unconscious at a brothel.
But according to Us the final straw was when Lamar was told his children, from his relationship with Liza Morales, Destiny, 17, and Lamar Jr, 13, were not allowed immediate admittance to see him.
The blame, according to the insider, was put on Khloe.
In the last few weeks as Khloe has shuttled herself back and forth from Lamar's side to various Kardashian family get-togethers she recently admitted to feeling 'emotional and irritated'.
The 31-year-old star, who split from the former L.A. Lakers player in December 2013 amid rumours he was addicted to drugs and cheating on her, admits she decided to chop off her long blonde hair after rushing to be by his side in Las Vegas after he was found unconscious in a brothel following a drugs binge.
Asked about her shorter style, she told Yahoo Style: 'I was just emotional and irritated being in a hospital - I don't know why I did it, but I like it.'





The Keeping Up with the Kardashians beauty is still in a relationship with NBA star James Harden, 26, but doesn't know what the future holds for them. 
'Khloe and James are moving forward with their relationship,' an insider told DailyMail.com. 'She is happy to be back with her boyfriend and working on the relationship. He has been very understanding during this awful incident.' 
The source added that James has been 'very understanding' as she has helped Lamar, who is still in an LA hospital. It was added the TV star and the athlete have been in contact the entire time.
'They are trying to stay together, they want to be together,' said the source.  
Khloe also recently responded to criticism of her recent People Magazine cover story. 
She tweeted: 'I want to make this VERY clear.... My people cover, I shot and interviewed for PRIOR to all the events that happened.'
'It was contracted press for my book that I wrote months and months ago,' the reality star explained. 'Timing is what it is.' 
'I had to do a follow up 5 minute phoner after the events only because I was contracted to. I cancelled my book tour to avoid this attention,' she added

Lupita Nyong’o is an 'ice, cold diva' and 'manipulative bitch who refuses to speak to Eclipsed castmates when not in character for the Broadway-bound play





12 Years a Slave star and Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o is really a diva who is completely overshadowing her co-stars of the Broadway-bound play Eclipsed with her backstage antics.
Theater actresses Pascale Armand, Akosua Busia, Zainab Jah, and Saycon Sengbloh were all initially excited to work with Hollywood's breakout star, but now the four women can barely stand to share the stage with her, theatre sources reveal.
Theatre maverick Stephen C. Byrd, who is executive producer of the play's Broadway run, was adamant that Nyong'o be cast in the show after learning she was turned down for the role while an undergrad at Yale School of Drama.
'Stephen paid her top-dollar to be in this production. He's head over heels to have her in the show and has made it clear to everyone, whatever Lupita wants, she gets. 
'He's assured her that this is her show and he'll move mountains to please her,' a source told Daily Mail Online, before adding: 'And she's milking that!'
A story of four women during the Civil War of Liberia circa 2003 confined to slave-like quarters in a rural compound by a warlord rebel leader; Nyong'o's co-stars thought the ladies should build chemistry by having lunch off-site together during rehearsals for the show this past summer.
'She declined all invitations to go out to lunch with her cast members and keeps to herself in the shared dressing room quarters while the ladies went out. 
'She even tried to get her own separate dressing room at The Public Theater, but the venue didn't have the space for it,' the source explained. 
'If Stephen could have done it, he would've. I'm surprised he didn't get a trailer for her like she was on a film set outside the venue.'
Eclipsed had its opening night performance on October 15th, which attracted celebrities such as Stevie Wonder, Oscar winner Common, singer Deborah Cox, Orange is the New Black star Danielle Brooks and Tony Award winner Adriane Lenox
 An intimate party at The Public followed the opening. 
Because the soiree was held in the intimate venue, the cast was told they were not allowed to bring family and friends due to limited space.
'That didn't stop Lupita! She had a full entourage trailing her every move.
Her co-stars were offended because they couldn't share the moment with their loved ones and Lupita had enough people to start an NBA team,' the source said.
Though the 12 Years a Slave star comes across as Hollywood's darling and America's sweetheart in public, her Eclipsed co-stars feel she's an 'ice princess' and a 'manipulative b****' behind the scenes.
'She doesn't speak to anyone when she's not on stage and in character. She has security backstage because she claims she has a stalker. 
'She only wants to do press interviews alone, despite the show being an ensemble piece. She's done everything she can to alienate herself from her co-stars,' said the source.
Regardless, Eclipsed is playing to a sold-out run at The Public and it has already been announced that the show will move to Broadway in February 2016. 
Only Nyong'o has been confirmed for the Broadway transfer and Byrd has told her she can decide which of her co-stars she would like to take along, souces claim.
'Now the fate of these actresses is in the hands of a woman who barely speaks to them. 
'They are all walking on eggshells and are all appalled that just a few years ago, the director wouldn't even cast her in the show and now she's determining who's joining her in her Broadway debut,' added the source.
Eclipsed star Sengbloh is fed up with the backstage tension and has decided to exit the production before the show's run at The Public is scheduled to end and has not given a reason.
