QUEENS — A manager at a Jamaica Burger King hurled a napkin dispenser at a group of rowdy teens but hit a man ordering food instead, chipping his teeth, according to police and court records.
The incident took place on Nov. 6 around 11:30 p.m., when the 26-year-old victim was buying food at Burger King on Jamaica Avenue, near 160th Street, police said.
At the time, “a group of kids” was “throwing items around the restaurant,” according to the criminal complaint.
The manager, Nancy Fields, 27, of Richmond Hill, threw a napkin dispenser into the crowd but it hit the man instead. He suffered two chipped teeth and severe pain, according to court documents.
Fields was arrested on Dec. 5 and charged with assault and harassment. She is due back in court on February 3.
Field’s lawyer did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
A woman who answered the phone at the eatery declined to discuss the incident.
