Restaurant Manager Is Cited in Assault
The manager of a fast-food restaurant followed a disgruntled customer to another restaurant, threw a cup of liquid at the woman and injured her son, authorities said.
Burger King manager Mark Martin was cited for assault Sunday and released, San Diego County Sheriff’s Lt. Edna Ito said. Martin and Carolyn Blake argued after he told the woman and her son that breakfast was not served after 10:30 a.m.; Blake insisted she was in line before the cutoff time, Ito said.
According to Ito, Blake left for another restaurant, and Martin followed her. In the other restaurant’s parking lot, Martin threw a cup filled with liquid at her. The cup struck her son, Ito said.
