CHICAGO — Two people attacked a security guard at a downtown McDonald's restaurant and the incident was caught on cell phone video.
It is unknown how the incident began but video shows the security officer working the McDonald’s at 10 E Chicago Avenue fighting with two men.
As customers look on, the security guard drew his weapon and the men backed off.
This incident comes amid a backdrop of several incidents in the River North neighborhood over the weekend where 21 people in different groups were arrested for causing disturbances.
According to police, "each of the groups were given a direct order to disperse from the area after causing disturbances running in and out of traffic causing vehicles to swerve. Some members of the groups were placed into custody and refused to follow a lawful order."
Police have been called to the Chicago and State McDonald’s 35 times in the past 30 days — 23 disturbances, nine batteries and three assaults.
Chicago police have no record of the incident, so it appears no one called 911.
I can remember spending an interesting evening in Boston's Combat Zone when I was a young pup. (albeit technically an adult).
The Chicago version seems considerably more dangerous.

I saw this video on Reddit this morning. Sadly, the comments vary wildly. You get the intelligent responses that you and I might make regarding his self-control, but using the draw to de-escalate the situation so a gunshot was not required. Then you see the morons posting OH EM GEE WHY'D HE NEED A GUN?! THEY COULDA GOT HURT! These are the people we are up against. Keep up the good fight.
