Hungry Maniac Vents Fury At Deli Bagel Delay: Cops And Report
An angry customer threw loaves of bread and a metal bell at the deli worker who made him wait for a bagel, according to police and reports.

EAST WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN -- It was a bagel 'n' knocks. A furious Brooklynite became violent last month when a deli worker got his bagel order wrong, according to police and reports.
The bagel aficionado screamed and threw merchandice at the 28-year-old employee inside Hi Mango Natural Market on Flushing Avenue and Vandervoort Place at about 4:30 a.m. on Nov. 25, police said.
Witnesses told the New York Post the wait for a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich spurred the man to make death threats and hurl loaves of bread and a metal bell at the deli worker.
