Sforza asserts that she was the one who was physically assaulted on July 10 at the McDonald's restaurant at 341 Fifth Avenue by a man she believes to be the manager.
Sforza reports that after being in the bathroom for a minute or two the manager began yelling, "I'm going to kill you, ->-bleeped-<-got."
She alleges that when she opened the door the manager hit her across the head with a lead pipe and kept hitting her in the head, torso and groin, and on her arms when she tried to protect herself. Sforza told Amnesty International that other staff and customers were cheering and yelling "kill the ->-bleeped-<-."
One of Sforza's friends called the police, but when they came she says they refused to listen to her side of the story and arrested her after the manager claimed she had assaulted him.
