A 22-year-old worker at the Burger King store in Brooklyn was attacked by two men wearing a hoody for taking too long to serve their food.

The New York City police are searching for the two men who attacked a 22-year-old Burger King employee in Brooklyn last month over an apparent delay in their food order.

The attackers had an argument saying: “Your fast food was not made fast enough” before he turned physical around 6:14 pm on December 4 inside a Burger King store on Linden Boulevard near Hegeman Avenue in Brownsville.

The investigators said that one of the customers leaped over the counter and grabbed the worker, holding him so both suspects could punch him in the head and face.

The CCTV footage that has been released by the New York Police Department shows how both of the suspects repeatedly punched the said employee. NYPD also shared on Twitter that one of the suspects flash a knife on the said assault.

As onlookers fled the restaurant, two of the other employees rushed over to help the victim and stop the attacker who jump back over the counter.

After the attack, both suspects are shown casually leaving the outlet through the front doors, leaving others still left in the Burger King in shock. The suspects were last seen fleeing on foot down to Powel Street.

Officers added that the victim who has not been identified was treated by EMS at the scene and is expected to recover.

Burger King is not the only establishment in New York City that has recently been the site of unrest. Four people were arrested at an Applebee’s in Queens during a protest against its vaccine mandate for diners.

The footage was released shortly after newly-inaugurated New York City Mayor Eric Adams took the subway from his Brooklyn brownstone to City Hall for his first day on the job.

Adam, 61, called 911 while waiting for the train to report a fight after witnessing two men brawl near the subway station. He says that he will take a tougher stance on crime than his predecessor Bill de Blasio.

New York has experienced high numbers of coronavirus cases in recent days, driven by the highly transmissible Omicron variant and holiday gatherings. The city’s schools have also found trouble following the holiday spike, like many teachers, bus drivers, and other staff have called out sick with the virus, leaving many schools short-staffed in recent days.
