"Customers Who Refused Masks Assault Trader Joe’s Workers, Send One to the Hospital
The men pummeled one employee with a wooden paddle, ripped off another employee's mask, and pulled the hair of a third worker, according to an NYPD spokesperson.
On July 14, two customers entered a Trader Joe’s grocery store in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan without masks. They refused orders from workers to wear a mask, and began assaulting workers there, according to employees of the store and the New York City Police Department.
The men are both in their 30s, and the altercation occurred just before closing time, according to a spokesperson for the police department.
One of the customers ripped a mask off the face of the employee who’d asked them to wear masks, pummeled an employee over the head with a wooden paddle, and pulled the hair of a third worker, according to the police spokesperson. The employee who was pummeled with the wooden paddle (used by Trader Joe's cashiers to signal that they're ready to checkout a new customer) started bleeding from the head and had to go to the hospital, according to an employee who witnessed the incident. Trader Joe's has still not publicly acknowledged the incident and did not respond to a request for comment.
“Don’t make me get my gun,” one of the customers yelled, according to the NYPD spokesperson."
