NEW YORK - The NYPD says it has made two arrests after a Brooklyn McDonald's worker was left in critical condition after being shot in the neck during a dispute with a customer.

Police say Michael Morgan, 20, was arrested soon after the shooting and has been charged with attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon. 

Police also arrested Camellia Dunlap, 18, and charged her with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon. 

The NYPD says it happened at a McDonald's on Fulton St. in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section.  A female customer, alleged to be Morgan's mother, got into an argument with the 23-year-old employee over cold French fries.

The altercation ended up outside, when Morgan arrived and shot the worker in the neck, police said. 

EMS rushed the victim to Interfaith Hospital. He was later moved to Brookdale Hospital due to the severity of his injuries.
