Detroit Police said a 67-year-old customer of a Burger King was punched and died in an altercation with an employee at the east side fast-food place.
Police said it wasn’t clear what caused a verbal argument between the customer and the worker, a 20-year-old, around 2:30 p.m. Thursday at the burger joint on the 2100 block of Gratiot Avenue.
But the employee punched the man, “and he fell to the ground,” said Sgt. Eren Stephens, a spokeswoman for the Detroit Police Department. “We’re now waiting on the medical examiner’s report to determine the cause of death. The 20-year-old has been taken into custody.”
