EARLIER: Victoria police are looking to identify a woman who allegedly assaulted a McDonald’s employee after her order reportedly wasn’t to her liking.
The incident occurred at the McDonald’s at 1581 Hillside Ave just after midnight on July 14.
According to staff, the woman became verbally abusive when her order didn’t contain a tomato.
Security footage shows the woman speaking with an employee at the register before she picks up what appears to be a container off the counter and throws it at the employee.
An unidentified man then intervenes and tries to de-escalate the situation, but is unsuccessful.
The woman then proceeds to repeatedly punch one of the self-serve kiosks, knocking it out of order. The pair then leave the restaurant.
The employee was not injured.
