The boy first asked his 13-year-old classmate for one of her chicken nuggets at an East Harlem McDonald's, the NYPD confirmed to BuzzFeed News.

After denying him one, the boy followed her into the nearby 6 train subway station and apparently threatened her with a gun, again demanding a chicken nugget.

The 13-year-old not only denied the McNugget a second time, she smacked the gun from his hands and asked to be left alone, police said.
