It was one Big Mac attack too many.

A crime-ridden Brooklyn McDonald’s is carding customers at the door and forbidding anyone under 20 to enter without a parent or proper ID — in what might be a first for the fast food goliath.

The restaurant, at Nostrand and Flatbush avenues took the drastic step last week, after a group of kids wearing ski masks swirled in after school and attacked a security guard, breaking a glass door, according to manager Amber Hussain.

A manager at the Flatbush McDonald’s told The Post the sign on the door went up last week. Helayne Seidman

“It was a crazy scene,” recalled Hussain, 19.

Every day after school for the year she’s worked there, somewhere between 15 to 20 teenagers come in and “trash the store” — throwing ice at customers, snatching bags of foods from Uber drivers and smoking weed inside the restaurant, Hussain told The Post.

The McDonald’s — in the area nicknamed “the junction” — is infamous in the neighborhood. It’s been the scene of multiple shootings and stabbings over the years.

In September 2011, an 18-year-old boy was shot in the head in broad day light as he was entering the eatery, sending him rolling into the street in a brutal, carefully planned attack by two accomplices.

In 2012, a manager assaulted a 24-year-old woman trying to order after an argument over the food.

So far in 2025, there have been 29 calls to 911 there, according to the NYPD.

Police data shows more than 100 calls to 911 were made inside and in front of the McDonald’s in each of the last three years, with 121 calls in 2022, 103 in 2023 and 111 in 2024.

To those familiar with the location, it’s no surprise.

“If you’re from that area, you know that McDonald’s is horrible,” said Sania Bolasingh, who grew up in Flatbush.

“People fight in there – it’s not just kids being kids. People get stabbed, a delivery worker got jumped, he passed out,” Bolasingh told The Post.

Bolasingh, 20, was initially shocked when she went to the McDonald’s after school last week and one of its two security guards demanded to se her for ID to get in.

“This is crazy, this is sick,” she said in a video she posted on TikTok.

But to some, it makes perfect sense.

“What do you expect a business owner to do?” wondered Coyd Smith, 48, a law clerk from Flatbush. “This was always a place where kids would cause trouble.”

McDonald’s did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
