A Jamaican man who was taped hitting two women with a metal pole at a McDonald's restaurant in Greenwich Village, New York, causing them to suffer serious injuries, has been cleared of all charges, this according to a report in the Daily Mail.

Thirty-one-year-old Rayon McIntosh had been accused of brutally attacking the women at the 24-hour restaurant after they shouted obscenities at him, slapped him and then jumped over the counter.

The incident reportedly happened on October 13.

THE STAR understands that on the day of the attack, Denise Darbeau and Rachel Edwards, both 24, wanted to pay their bill with $50. However, when McIntosh checked to see if the bill was genuine they allegedly became angry and eventually jumped over the counter.

Video surveillance footage showed McIntosh grabbing a metal bar and hitting the women. The attack was also captured on cellphone video.

A grand jury heard testimony for 11 days and voted to clear McIntosh who was facing assault and weapons charges.

THE STAR further understands that the women are facing charges of criminal trespassing, menacing and disorderly conduct. A grand jury has yet to vote on their case.

A McDonald's spokesman said at the time of the attack: "The violence in this video is alarming and reprehensible. The franchisee of this restaurant has told us that the individual involved no longer works for her organisation. We strive to ensure that our McDonald's restaurants are safe and welcoming for our customers. Our franchisee is fully cooperating with authorities in the investigation."

THE STAR has since been informed that the Jamaican is now taking steps to sue the restaurant as he blames them for putting him in the 'perilous position'.

He said that staffers had warned the franchise owner of fights, drunken customers and even guns inside the eatery.
