A crazed individual attacked a deli worker in Queens on Sunday night when the worker refused to give him free items, as per the police. The incident took place at Nordomi Deli on Jamaica Ave. in Jamaica around 7:45 p.m. The man had entered the deli demanding free food and drinks, but when his request was denied, he got into a heated argument with the staff.
The employees recognized the attacker, who is currently on the run. This man had visited the deli multiple times before, always asking for free items. When the victim asked him to leave, the man went outside and started banging on the store’s windows. As the employee went to check for damage, the man allegedly slashed him on the back with a hunting knife before fleeing the scene.
Although a group of bystanders tried to chase after the attacker, he managed to escape. The store manager, known only as Anthony, revealed that the same man had been to the deli several times prior to the incident, always requesting free food or using the bathroom.
The deli worker, luckily, did not suffer any life-threatening injuries and is expected to recover fully. The manager described the attacker’s weapon as a hunting knife, comparing it to one used by the fictional character Rambo. The police are still searching for the suspect, who is considered dangerous and at large.
Incidents like these highlight the risks faced by retail workers, who often have to deal with difficult customers or potential threats. It is essential for businesses to have security measures in place to protect their employees and prevent such violent episodes from occurring in the future. Customers should also be respectful and understanding towards workers, rather than resorting to aggression when their demands are not met. Violence is never the answer, and it is important to address conflicts peacefully and responsibly.
