ATLANTA – A waitress required 15 stitches after she was attacked by four women she served Tuesday night at a Henry County Applebee’s.
The women beat, punched and stabbed the waitress to the forearm with a steak knife, Major Kyle Helgerson with the McDonough Police Department told AJC.com. They allegedly took her tips before they skipped out on a $62.57 bill.
Helgerson said it all started when the women were having dinner at the Industrial Boulevard location in McDonough, and one of the diners was sitting with her leg out in an aisle.
“The waitress had brushed up against her leg,” Helgerson said. “There was an initial conversation about that.”
The waitress, who is in her 20s, reportedly apologized to the woman, claiming it was an accident. After the table complained about not receiving their food, the waitress went to the kitchen to retrieve it, according to a police report.
