A violent altercation erupted in a New York deli when a disgruntled customer returned after seven years to exact revenge over a long-forgotten sandwich dispute. The attacker, armed with a knife, stabbed two employees before fleeing the scene.
The Shocking Attack
According to eyewitnesses, the assailant entered the deli in a calm manner before suddenly attacking the workers. The victims, both long-time employees, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were rushed to a nearby hospital.
A Grudge Seven Years in the Making
Police sources revealed that the attacker had harboured resentment since 2016 over what he perceived as incorrect toppings on his sandwich. Despite the trivial nature of the original complaint, the customer allegedly returned specifically to target the same workers.
Police Investigation Underway
Authorities are treating this as a targeted attack and have launched a manhunt for the suspect. Surveillance footage from the deli is being analysed, and detectives are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
The incident has shocked the local community, with many questioning how a minor food complaint could escalate to such extreme violence after so many years.
