In reply to the discussion: I had another bad day at work yesterday (violence trigger) [View all]pecosbob
(7,537 posts)28. Sorry...to clarify, two employees and one customer were involved in the melee with the assailant
The customer came to my aid. For the most part it was the customer and I both struggling with this guy. The guy was six foot, 275 lbs, kind of like a big fireplug. I'm six foot 180 lbs soaking wet. It was pretty much a for-real WWE event with the guy flinging us both around the store like little children. Pretty sure the big gash in my head occurred when I was thrown into a glass doughnut display case.

That's awful. Get a lawyer and sue them, or call your state's fair employment office.

You can sue the customer(s) who assaulted you, too, for civil damages and file criminal charges.

If a regular customer hadn't jumped in to help, I'd likely be in intensive care now.
