A man and woman in Ohio were arrested after police say they entered an Arby’s and attacked an employee.

Stevi Creech, 21, is charged with felonious assault, and Gerrin Rankin, 26, is charged with menacing, according to court records.

On Sept. 11, Creech and Rankin walked into an Arby’s and attacked an employee with a rock, according to a report from the Kettering Police Department.

A woman who “was screaming and bleeding from the face” flagged down police, according to an affidavit, WHIO reported.

Surveillance video showed Creech walk into the restaurant to the inside drive-thru area with an object in her hand, then Rankin is seen following her inside seconds later, according to the news outlet.

“AES Restaurant Group prioritizes team member safety and is fully cooperating with authorities following the incident. The team member involved has received medical care and has since returned to work,” an AES Restaurant Group spokesperson told WDTN.

Rankin and Creech were each given a $25,000 bond and ordered to have no contact with the victim.

Kettering is about a 5-mile drive south from downtown Dayton.
