Woman Fights 12 Police Officers with Meat Cleaver After Phone Reportedly Dies While Paying for Restaurant Bill

A viral video captured a customer’s fight after she allegedly couldn’t pay for her meal with her phone.

On Saturday, Jan. 3, a 32-year-old woman attempted to pay for food at a noodle restaurant in Hong Kong but her phone was dead, Newsflare reported.

Despite restaurant employees offering to help the woman charge her phone in the restaurant and “there was nothing overly unusual about her behaviour,” the restaurant owner said, the situation quickly escalated as the customer allegedly took a meat cleaver and pair of scissors from the restaurant. Other diners fled the restaurant and the owner called the police.

A dozen members of the Hong Kong Police Force were dispatched, each wearing helmets and holding shields and batons, per South China Morning Post.

Released CCTV footage shows the woman standing in the empty restaurant, which has food, phones and chopsticks strewn across the floor. Half of the group of officers entered the restaurant from the main entrance and the woman immediately charged at them, swinging the cleaver at their shields. The other six officers entered the restaurant from a side entrance and came up behind the woman seemingly in an attempt to disarm her. South China Morning Post reports that officers used pepper spray.

She just snapped when her ramen withdrawal turned into ramen rage. Everyone should be glad she wasn’t driving.

I would have thought that Hong Kong police 🚓
could easily Ward off these types of attacks.

Maybe by June, they’ll receive additional training, at least in this Ward.

Such specialized training might be a bit of a Haskell though.

Not that it Mathers...

Will this affect the Dow?

I might have to cancel my trip to Beaumont.

Fifteen years in a re-education camp will help her see the light.

When situation is quickly escalated is a mean nerve test.
