Manhattan, NYC — An UberEATS delivery man is currently on police search after allegedly choking a fast-food worker.
According to police, the attack happened around 2 pm inside a Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen on 8th Avenue in Chelsea. The two initially got into a heated argument and started yelling at each other.
Eventually, the dispute turned violent. The UberEATS driver attacked the employee by putting the 22-year-old on chokehold and punched him in the side of his head.
Fortunately, the Popeye worker did not sustain serious injuries.
