A 22-year-old pizza shop employee in Eilat is facing charges for allegedly assaulting a customer who complained about the quality of his order. The incident occurred approximately nine months ago when the customer arrived to pick up a family-sized pizza. Upon opening the box, the customer remarked that the pizza did not look good, which reportedly angered the employee.
According to the indictment filed by the Eilat police's prosecution unit, the employee then threatened the customer, saying, "If you don't shut up, I'll f*** you up." The customer attempted to de-escalate the situation, questioning the employee's behavior. However, the argument escalated into violence.
The employee allegedly grabbed a ladle and struck the customer five times on the head and face. The customer stated to police investigators that he tried to defend himself but the employee continued the assault. Bystanders intervened and called the police.
The injured customer was taken to Yoseftal Hospital in Eilat, where he required stitches for wounds on his back and fingers. The employee was questioned under caution and released under restrictive conditions. The prosecution has indicated that if convicted, they will consider seeking a prison sentence. His trial is expected to begin soon.
