A young New Jersey mom was viciously beaten by a woman wearing a McDonald’s uniform, while people stood around recording the scene and refusing to stop the attack.

According to The South Jersey Times, the beating happened Tuesday afternoon, and the video of the woman helplessly laying on the ground while her attacker kicked and beat her was later posted to Facebook.

Out of the small crowd circling the vicious attack, the only person willing to help was the victim’s toddler son. The protective little tyke is seen begging the McDonald’s worker to stop hurting his mom, and even throws a few kicks at the attacker to get her to stop. The suspect responded to his interference by telling the mom, “You better get your son before I kick him in the face too.”

According to the report, the beating was sparked because the victim allegedly spread rumors about the attacker and her McDonald’s manager. (RELATED: Kentucky Couple Beat Man After Fender Bender)

The suspect has been identified and charged with aggravated assault and two counts of making terroristic threats.
