Man arrested for chasing Maine McDonald’s employees with chainsaw

Employees at a McDonald’s in Maine weren’t lovin’ it when a would-be customer started chasing them with a chainsaw.

Alice Sweet entered a McDonald’s in Portland around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday with a chainsaw and revved the weapon at employees behind the counter, the Westbrook Police Department said in a statement.

Sweet then stole some food and a drink before fleeing the restaurant, police said.

The manager later confronted the madman, but then Sweet began chasing him with the chainsaw, police said.

Cops said the 26-year-old of Portland also damaged two cars that were parked at the fast-food joint.

Officers who responded to the scene ran after Sweet and tracked him down to arrest him.
