Two bakery owners in Paterson, New Jersey, were attacked by a customer angry about a four-year-old sandwich order. The assailant confronted them over an eggplant sandwich, which he claimed made him ill due to an allergy. When the bakery owners tried to resolve the issue, the situation escalated, resulting in the customer allegedly stabbing one brother and injuring the other. Both victims were treated at a local hospital. Local officials are addressing concerns about safety in the community following the violent incident.
The argument escalated and eventually turned violent when the suspect allegedly stabbed Mohammad in the chest and slashed Abed in the arm when he tried to intervene.
Samer recalled the scene, stating, 'I heard screaming, so I went outside to see one of the bakery owners outside holding his arm. His arm was bleeding.'
Moneer Simrin reported that the alleged attacker became irate after claiming he was allergic to eggplant and started acting aggressively after being offered compensation.
Paterson Mayor André Sayegh emphasized that such violence is uncommon in the area and assured residents that the police were focused on apprehending the suspect.
