KIPS BAY — You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.
A drunken pizza eater from Chicago lost his cool on Feb. 19 when employees of the restaurant he was in told him he had to leave, according to a police report.
Taylor Fink, 28, was enjoying a slice just after 2:30 a.m. at Dough Boys Pizza at 451 Third Ave. between 31st and 32nd streets when employees asked him to leave, police said.
Fink, who police described as being intoxicated, wasn’t having any of it, and began to berate the employees before smashing out one of the restaurant’s windows, officials said.
The belligerent man tried to flee the scene but an employee chased after him for two blocks, eventually catching up to him at 33rd Street and Third Avenue, and finagled him back to the pizza joint, according to a report.
Officers responding to the fracas went to arrest Fink, who began flailing about and kicking officers as they tried to cuff him, prompting one officer to use his extendable baton to deflect the Chicagoan’s blows and subdue him, police said.
Prosecutors charged Fink with a felony count of destruction of property greater than $250, felony assault, and a misdemeanor count of resisting arrest, and a judge released him later that day on $2,500 bail pending his next court date on April 25, court records show.
An employee at Dough Boys confirmed that a drunk customer had shattered one of the shop’s plate-glass windows, but declined to comment further because he had not been there at the time.
Fink’s lawyer did not respond to a request for comment.
