Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
An irate Subway customer who was upset that his sandwich had not been cut in half was charged with assault after allegedly throwing the offending sandwich at one of the fast food chain’s employees, police said.
Alberto De Barros, 54, was arrested by police who were called to “a disturbance” at the restaurant in Stuart, Florida, shortly after 5 p.m. Tuesday.
Subway worker Cassandra Pierre-Louis told Martin County sheriff’s deputies that De Barros “became upset with her after discovering her sandwich was not separated,” according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by The Smoking Gun.
After a brief dispute, De Barros “began causing a disturbing scene,” according to the affidavit.
Pierre-Louis then told De Barros that he would no longer assist him and he immediately made a phone call.

In the middle of the call “the sandwich was thrown at Mrs. Pierre-Louis,” the report states.
The sandwich hit Pierre-Louis in the “middle and lower section of the body.”
Agents did not say what type of sandwich De Barros had ordered.

As De Barros stormed out of the restaurant, Pierre-Louis followed him outside and captured video evidence of his behavior and his car’s license plate.
When questioned by officers, De Barros acknowledged being “upset that they didn’t cut his sandwich,” but said he “believed he threw the sandwich at the counter instead of at Ms. Pierre Louis,” the outlet reported.
Surveillance footage from the store also showed him taking the sandwich from the counter and hitting Pierre-Louis with it.
