Fried Chicken Customer Cooped-Up For Violent Bust-Up

A fried chicken takeaway customer, involved in a bust-up that left a member of staff with a broken jaw, has been jailed for eight months.
Manaf Alahassan, 27, fought the case at Croydon Crown Court, but was convicted after a trial.
He was found guilty of assault and possession of an offensive weapon at the Church Street, Croydon takeaway on October 12, 2017.
Alahassan entered the shop just before 5.00pm with another male and both became aggressive about the length of time they were waiting for their food order.
The second man, 20, fractured the 21 year-old staff member's jaw with a punch and was later locked-up for three years for grievous bodily harm.
Alahassan threw a salt shaker at the victim during the altercation.
He was also in possession of a knife and showed it to staff before both men walked out and left the scene.
Mobile phone footage of the incident was captured by a member of the public, which helped to match the clothing worn by the attackers with the clothing the arrested men were wearing.
The victim was taken to a south London hospital by the London Ambulance Service with a broken jaw, and facial injuries.
The two suspects were arrested a short time later in The Queens Gardens.
Detective Constable Andy Garland, of Croydon CID, said: “Attacks like this on people in their place of work are totally unacceptable.
“Alahassan and another man who later admitted to his part in the attack were located shortly after the incident by officers who conducted an area search, and both men are now in jail, all for a few seconds of sudden unnecessary violence.”
