We know that McDonald's burgers are not exactly gourmet. But to poison 32 people all at once is quite a lot. Fortunately for Ronald's brand, the chain has nothing to do with the strange incident that happened this Saturday at Saint-Lazare. Indeed, in the afternoon, a man was spotted pouring an orange liquid on the restaurant floor, which seems to be the cause of all this fuss.
A Colorful Event
Wearing a blue puffer jacket, a man rushed under the golden M to pour some orange liquid on the floor. That's what eyewitnesses saw, and it was confirmed by surveillance footage of what happened this weekend at the McDonald's at Saint-Lazare. A rather peculiar situation.
quite surreal, after which the man immediately left the restaurant to catch a train to Caen.Liquide chimique déversé au McDo de la gare Saint-Lazare : un homme contrôlé à Caen à la sortie du train.

Just a few minutes after his action, about thirty people felt unwell, requiring the intervention of emergency services. They established a security perimeter and implemented a NRBC protocol concerning victims exposed to nuclear, radiological, biochemical or chemical risks. Fortunately, while 10 individuals were deemed to be in relative emergency, no one needed to be hospitalized.
An Ongoing Investigation
According to the initial findings, it was simply the contents of a pepper spray bomb that had been spilled by the man, primarily causing severe irritations, especially in the throat. This is also what 10 individuals have complained about.
