A man threw a rock at a mom and her children after he became impatient waiting at a Burger King drive-thru in Oklahoma, police have said.
Officers in Edmond, north of Oklahoma City, said the man started yelling at the family as the woman was checking her order at the drive-thru on May 22.
Police spokesperson Emily Ward told local TV station KFOR: "He began yelling to go and move. She hollered back, 'I'm looking at my food and then I'll go.' But before that could even take place, he went around her up over the median and left."

When both vehicles reached a traffic light, the man started to yell at the woman and her children, Ward said.
As the woman began to drive away, she saw the man had blocked two lanes of traffic with his Toyota FJ Cruiser, according to KFOR.
Ward said: "As she was slowly going around him, she planned to take a photo." At this point, the man is said to have thrown a rock at the driver.
The rock shattered her windshield, with glass hitting the woman and her children, but there were no injuries.
Edmond Police Department later shared photos of the suspect and his vehicle on social media, asking members of the public to help identify him.
It wrote in a Facebook post: "We're hoping someone will recognize the man in the silver Toyota FJ Cruiser. He threw a rock through another driver's windshield during a road rage incident."
One photo showed the man leaning out of the driver's side window with an object in his hand, seemingly ready to lob it.
On May 24, the department posted a update on Facebook saying: "After numerous tips, we have ID'd the suspect. Thank you to everyone who took the time to call or send messages."
The man's name has not been released and it is not yet known if he is in police custody. Newsweek has contacted the Edmond Police Department for comment.
According to insurance company The Zebra, a total of 12,610 injuries in the U.S. have been attributed to road rage over a seven-year period. It said on its website: "In 2019, 82 percent of people admitted to committing an act of road rage in the page year."
Earlier this month, police in Austin, Texas, released dramatic dashcam footage of an apparent road-rage incident in which a driver rammed another car on a Texas interstate.
Austin police said: "The driver of a white Lexus IS 300, manufactured between 2016 and 2020, drove recklessly to cause a confrontation with other drivers." They are seeking the driver.
