A 37-year-old man has been jailed over a violent rampage at Hungry Jacks in Baldivis.

The man abused staff and threw drinks and other items at them on Wednesday morning before assaulting a teenage boy inside the store.

He then attacked an elderly traffic warden outside the fast-food restaurant.

The 81-year-old man was pushed to the ground and kicked.

He was taken to Rockingham Hospital for treatment and is now recovering at home.

Members of the public stepped in to detain the accused before he was arrested by police.

Speaking on 7NEWS, witness Chelsea Lilley said the man became angry over a drink.

"It was all over a vanilla mocha that wasn't 'vanillary' enough," she said.

The Gosnells man was charged with assaulting a public officer, unlawful wounding, making a threat to unlawfully do an act, common assault, criminal damage and failing to give police personal details.

He appeared before the Rockingham Magistrates Court on Thursday where he pleaded guilty to the offences.

The man was sentenced to one year and nine months behind bars.
