ROSEVILLE, Calif. — A McDonald's employee sustained minor injuries when a homeless man threatened him with a butter knife, according to the Roseville Police Department.
Roseville police said in a Facebook post Tuesday that officers responded to reports of a fight at a McDonald's near the intersection of Cirby Way and Sunrise Boulevard.
The employee was outside of the fast food restaurant when the homeless man pulled out the knife and attacked him, Roseville police said.
ABC10 was there as the 22-year-old victim returned to the McDonald’s. He told us a man was yelling at customers, so he asked the man to leave and the man attacked him.
He says restaurant managers told him not to speak with media on camera, so his fiance, Serena Penland, described the aftermath.
"It was a butter knife that he stabbed him with," she said, "Almost to his eye, he said he thought he was blind because all the blood went inside his eye."
The employee was outside of the business when the homeless man pulled out the knife and attacked the employee, Roseville police said.
Police arrested the homeless man on several charges.
