BRONX- Don’t screw up a sandwich order near Yankee Stadium or you could end up being pelted with produce.
Cops say they have identified at least one of the pair of rotten fruit that attacked a deli worker with avocados. The motive for the produce attack appears to be getting one of the attacker’s order for a sandwich wrong.
Investigators said tipsters helped them identify one of two men who pelted a clerk at the Stadium Gourmet Deli near Yankee Stadium on May 29.
The bizarre incident took place around 4:45 am. When one of the men became enraged that the clerk got his sandwich order wrong he began hurling avocados from a produce case. Then his partner chimed in and then they threw bananas at the helpless workers.
The clerk suffered a fractured jaw in the attack. Anyone with information is urged to call CRIMESTOPPERS at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls are confidential.
