Axeman attacks chef over pizza
March 5 2003
Unhappy with his pizza and not content with a refund, a drunken man in Germany went after the chef with an axe.
Frankfurt police say the 57-year-old man was restrained by customers after he drew the axe from his coat and started swinging it at the cook.
A police spokesman says that, apparently, the pizza didn't agree with the man - who wasn't a regular customer.
The man - who had been offered a refund or a fresh pizza after complaining his first one was revolting - was ejected from the restaurant after shouting abuse.
He later returned to continue his tirade and then produced the axe and tried to strike the chef, but patrons managed to wrestle him to the ground.
The man was arrested.
