CLINTON HILL — Talk about fowl play.

An employee at the Crown Fried Chicken at 963 Fulton St., threw a bottle at a customer who complained that his order was wrong, according to police.

The patron received his food around 4:40 p.m. on Oct. 30, but noticed his order wasn’t right and went to the counter to tell an employee, police said. 

The two then got into an argument before the worker came from behind the counter and threw a bottle at the customer’s head, police said. 

The customer suffered a cut to his face and was treated at the Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center, police said.

A manager at Crown Fried Chicken could not immediately be reached for comment.

 

Other notable crimes from the 88th Precinct, which includes Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, include:

► A 26-year-old woman was arrested for throwing a cellphone at a 31-year-old woman’s head after the victim bumped into her while she was getting off the elevator at the apartment building where they both live on Tillary Street around 8:10 a.m. on Oct. 24, police said.

► A 25-year-old woman was walking near Prince and Tillary streets when an unknown suspect punched her multiple times in the face and stole her phone just before 10:30 p.m. on Oct. 25, police said. The suspect fled toward the Ingersoll Houses.
