Hunt on for Dunkin' Donuts hothead

Police are hunting for the hothead who chucked a ceramic mug and other countertop items at a Dunkin' Donuts employee in a freakout over customer service.

The incident happened at 6:50 a.m. Feb. 12 at the Dunkin' Donuts at 1551 Washington Ave. in Southwest Center City.

A woman placed an order, but grew furious within seconds, shouting and gesturing at the worker behind the counter, according to surveillance video. She knocked things down on the counter and then hurled the ceramic mug, which is used for tips, a display box and other items at the manager, the video shows. The woman then stalked out of the store to her dark-colored sedan, believed to be a Ford Taurus, and drove away.

The manager, 31, suffered a cut on her left wrist that required hospital treatment, police said.

The suspect is described as black, about 5-foot-4, 20 years old, with a thin build and light brown complexion. She wore a black winter hat and a tan jacket. Tipsters, call South Detectives at (215) 686-3013 or -3014.
