Police in Florida say they are looking for a man who allegedly threw a cup of hot coffee at an employee at a Dunkin’ drive-thru.
Around 8:45 a.m. on Feb. 25, a man was given an extra cup of free coffee at the doughnut shop in New Port Richey, according to local authorities.
Instead of saying “thank you,” the man reportedly “became irate” and threw the cup at the worker’s face and it hit her.
The woman sustained blisters from the coffee, police said.
