FINANCIAL DISTRICT — A recently-fired employee at Stout NYC attacked a chef with a fork, then threatened to "kill everyone" with a gun, according to police and court documents.

The disgruntled former worker at the 90 John St. bar grabbed a fork from a table and began to lunge at the chef, who fired him several weeks earlier, police said.

The accused attacker, 20-year-old Ousman Sidibeh, also shouted "I am going to go get a gun and come back and kill everyone" during the March 3 incident, according to his criminal complaint from the Manhattan District Attorney's office.

Other employees managed to pry the fork from him and Sidibeh fled. But he came back and tried multiple times to punch his former boss, officials said.

Responding officers cuffed him, despite the fact that he allegedly flailed his arms.

Sidibeh was charged with second-degree attempted assault and resisting arrest.

His lawyer did not immediately return request for comment.
