Joseph Allen was arrested for threatening the staff at McDonald's in Largo, Florida

A Christmas-hating man has been arrested after threatening McDonald's staff because they were playing festive tunes and demanding they pay Muslim music instead.

Joseph Allen, 46, walked into the fast food chain in Walshingham Road, Largo, Florida on Tuesday where Christmas songs were being played.

The enraged scrooge allegedly cursed at workers and customers about the 'Christian music'.

Lardo Police Department were called to the restaurant, and their report states Allen demanded staff 'turn it off and play Muslim and Hindu music'.

He appeared drunk and faced off with McDonald’s workers 'in an aggressive manner, leaving the employees in fear for their safety', according to the cops.

After a small bag of methamphetamine was found in his pants, he was arrested for disorderly conduct and drugs possession charges, according to The Smoking Gun.

Allen is in the county jail with a $2,150 bond.
