According to the Military Police, the 59-year-old waiter was attacked by a visitor who was eating at the restaurant accompanied by a group of people and tried to leave without paying the bill.

However, when the 52-year-old suspect was already in the car, the waiter approached the car and asked to pay the bill, the prime minister said. The man then landed with a knife in his hand and tried to stab him in the chest.

A third person at the scene pulled the suspect back and immobilized him with a rear naked choke until police arrived. The suspect was arrested red-handed. He’s already been convicted of drug dealing.
