This is the shocking moment a man pretending to be an ICE agent attacked aMcDonald’smanager and threatened to deport him.

Joshua Cobb, 40, is accused ofimpersonating afederal immigration agent and assaulting Daniel Martinez in upscale La Jolla, San Diego, on Thursday.

Video of the incident allegedly shows Cobb leaping behind the counter and grabbing Martinez in a choke hold in the frightening lunchtime ambush.

“Why do you think your 911 phone calls aren’t [expletive] working?” snarled Cobb in the video, just moments after wringing Martinez by the neck.

Wearing jeans, an oversized NASA t-shirt and backwards cap, he first identified himself as a federal agent before striding behind the restaurant’s font counter and grabbing Martinez by the neck from behind.

He got Martinez in a headlock and the two careened around the kitchen near a drink machine, until other McDonald’s employees intervened.

After the attack was thwarted by the coworkers, Cobb still remained in the store and continued his preposterous rant.

“Why do you think I’m willing to take two punches in the [expletive] face with some illegal immigrants, while I make an arrest for Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” the ICE faker said.

Cops said Cobb is a local vagrant who could have caused serious injury to Martinez when he took the store manager in a rear naked chokehold.

Martineztold a local newscasterhe had worked at the busy fast-food joint on Nobel Drive for six years, and that Cobb was a regular customer there.
