It was an assault with a deadly mannequin.

Two men were arrested for igniting a brawl at the Herald Square Macy's that ended with a security guard being beaten with the pieces of a broken clothes dummy, police said.

The drama began around 5 p.m. Saturday on the first floor of the landmark store when Courtney Hardin and Rasheen McCoy, both 19, of Brooklyn, approached a married woman and tried to flirt with her. Her husband was in another part of the store, and when she told the knuckleheaded duo to get lost, McCoy responded by threatening her, cops said. When the husband, Anthony Odom, 37, returned, he leaped to his wife's defense, sparking a scuffle.

The men went crashing through a stack of mannequins. When security guard Joseph Boyce, 60, came to break up the fight, Hardin allegedly smacked him with a broken piece of a dummy, cutting the guard's hand.

Hardin and McCoy were charged with felony assault. Hardin was released on $3,000 bond and McCoy was released with no bail.

I heard the mannequin has hired a lawyer and may sue for big money.

Maybe they didn't have their pants falling off to the correct length in the back
Try making them droop to the point where they look like they will fall right off.
That seems to be the look the guys are going for nowadays.

"Courtney Hardin and Rasheen McCoy, both 19, of Brooklyn, approached a married woman and tried to flirt with her."

That pretty much says it all doesn't it? The names, the behavior...Courtney and Rasheen, trying to flirt with a random married woman...how come these stupid ghetto savages get soooo deluded about their chances with women? The sickly comments...hey sugar....hey babeee...and the wolf whistles, yelling after women in the street, even young schoolgirls...and of course when they're rejected, they act like the savages they are. Threatening a women? Really classy guys, I bet your homies are going to be in awe when you tell them this one. Remember the savage who ran over and killed a pregnant woman who rejected his cat calls on 36th st a year ago? I was there just after, saw the body trapped under the van. Ever since I found out how it happened I've held nothing but contempt for these worthless ghetto slimeballs, most of them should have been drowned in buckets at birth. These two are prime candidates.
