Three teens and a 20-year-old woman have been arrested after a 16-year-old McDonald’s employee was pulled through a drive-thru window and beaten last month.

Surveillance video and witnesses to the attack on August 26 led to the arrest, St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff’s Office told NOLA.com on Thursday. A viral video that surfaced this week, believed to have been recorded by one of the girls involved, showed the employee being pulled from the window by her hair.

She was punched multiple times before the attackers drove off.

Kailin Holland, 17, was booked with second-degree battery and Sierra Gregoire, 18, Bradnika Gregoire, 20, and a 16-year-old juvenile were issued a misdemeanor summons.

Holland is accused of pulling the girl through the window. Police have not released a motive.
