Video: 'Irate' customer wanted for $8,400-tirade through Philly chicken shop
NORTH PHILADELPHIA - A very pricey outburst at a restaurant in North Philadelphia has sparked an investigation as police seek to identify the suspect.
Video captured the moment a woman became irate at the Crown Fried Chicken on Broad Street, in North Philadelphia, early Tuesday morning, around 3 a.m.
First, she smashed two cash registers, two card readers, two receipt printers and a digital menu monitor on the ground.
Then, the woman can be seen aggressively climbing over the counter.
Customer Tamya Brooks said, "She came over the counter like she wanted to kill that man."
Police say the tirade caused damages totaling $8,470.

Surveillance images even showed the woman being held back by another person at one point.
No injuries were reported. It is alleged the woman apparently wanted a chicken wing for free and when she was told no, employees say she became upset and began the rampage.
Customer Reggie Martin observed, "Emotions. People just can't survive emotions."
The woman is wanted for vandalism, and police are asking anyone with information to contact them by calling 215-686-TIPS.
