MANHATTAN - A 76-year-old woman was viciously beaten inside a Manhattan McDonald’s, cops said.

At around 4:30 pm on February 12, a 76-year-old woman was inside a McDonald’s at 208 Varick Street in the West Village. 

Cops said a woman in her 20s began arguing with the senior inside the fast food eatery. The young woman, without warning,  punched the senior in the face with a closed fist, cops said.

The attacker then ran out of the store.
