According to the Vancouver Police Department (VPD), the alleged victim, a 23-year-old man who was working at the Fatburger on Granville Street, says the trouble began around 7 p.m., when a customer asked for free bacon added to his burger.

“When told that he’d have to pay for the add-on, the suspect allegedly went behind the counter, into the kitchen, and punched the cook in the face,” said a VPD statement Wednesday.

Police say the victim sustained a serious injury to the face and needed medical attention.

Another employee reportedly chased the suspect, who ran out of the restaurant and was later arrested by police.

The BC Prosecution Service has since approved the charge of one count of assault causing bodily harm against a 24-year-old man,
