Wisconsin law enforcement is asking the public for their help to identify a man who was recently captured on surveillance footage brutally assaulting a restaurant employee in Milwaukee.
Fortunately, that employee’s colleague was carrying a concealed weapon and was able to prevent the man from further injuring the employee.
According to WTMJ-TV, the incident began when an unknown man went behind the counter at a local George Webb restaurant and attacked an employee, seriously injuring her.
Surveillance footage shows the injured employee scrambling behind a co-worker, out of frame. After hitting the woman, the suspect seemingly goes after her. That’s when another restaurant worker pulled her concealed weapon and pointed it at the suspect.
