Quote"He grabbed me and that really scared me because I didn't know if he had a gun or a knife or what," James said. "When he grabbed me, my main thing was to get him off of me the best way I knew. Just let me go."

James, who learned how to box as a teenager, fought back as fellow coworkers stood by idly as seen in the viral video.

She said her manager didn't come to her aid, but doesn't fault them for it. She claimed they've never received proper training to deal with unruly customers. She is now calling on McDonald's to improve employee safety and train managers to de-escalate similar situations.

"I don't want it to be blamed on him, I want to blame it on the way he was trained 'cause he is not a bad manager," she said. "It's just that when that thing happened it's like he didn't know what to do."

Daniel Taylor, 40, was arrested in connection with the attack. He was charged with two counts of simple battery.

James' attorneys want the charges elevated to felony battery. They said they are exploring all legal options.

"This is the last straw for violence against all workers and all women," she said.
