A Tennessee woman is suing a restaurant, nearby liquor store and her alleged attacker following a good deed that turned bad.

According to news reports, Fran MacLaren gave a cheeseburger to a homeless man, David Craig, outside of a local McDonald's. After shouting that he didn't want the cheeseburger, but rather just money, Craig threw the burger at MacLaren. She responded by calling him an “ungrateful bastard.” Craig then went after MacLaren, striking her repeatedly, breaking her nose, fracturing her wrist and cheekbone, and cracking her rib.

Last month MacLaren filed a lawsuit in Davidson County Circuit Court seeking $2 million in damages and alleging that the McDonald's and the nearby liquor store "knew, or should have known, that their mode of operating their particular stores attracted persons prone to criminal acts and provided an environment to crime."

The suit further states that both stores failed to provide a reasonably safe place for their customers.
