Moment thug threatens to kill rooster store employee with a pretend gun after row broke out over garlic sauce
A man who assaulted a staff member at a chicken shop on Christmas Eve after complaining about his order has been sentenced to three years in prison.
Marwan Khadir, 18, threatened to shoot and kill the chicken shop worker and assaulted him multiple times in a brutal armed attack lasting over two minutes on December 24, last year.
CCTV footage prior to the assault shows Khadir arguing with the shop worker about how many garlic sauces he ordered, before complaining they had not included any chips with the order.
After seemingly resolving the issue, the teenager walked back to his flat, only to find out that his order was still not correct.
Khadir, armed with a fake gun, then stormed back into the shop, asking the staff member: ‘I asked for three garlic and three mayo. So why are you giving me four burger sauce?’
He suddenly leaps onto the counter, then cocks the weapon before grabbing the terrified worker’s wrist and telling him: ‘I’m going to kill you now, are you mad?’
The victim reported the assault on Christmas Day, with Khadir arrested by armed police less than a week later on January 2.

Officers recovered the fake gun from his home after finding it hidden behind a bedside cabinet.
Khadir, of Oakfield Road, Penge, admitted possessing an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, making threats to kill and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
He was jailed for three years at Woolwich Crown Court on Tuesday.
Officers were quickly able to identify Khadir through intensive CCTV and financial tracking, as well as local resident checks which all took place between Christmas and New Years’ Day.
They also conducted large-scale phone work in order to identify Khadir’s address and worked in tandem with firearms command to obtain warrants prior to his arrest.
Following the arrest, officers seized the replica gun Khadir used in the attack, as well as fake ammunition.
The CCTV footage which captured the offence, coupled with the weapon and matching clothing seized by officers contributed to the creation of an incredibly strong evidence package against Khadir.

Detective Sergeant Amy Cross, who led the investigation, said: ‘The tireless work by officers on this case over the Christmas and New Year period is further evidence that policing never stops, and their efforts ultimately led to a conviction.
‘All our thoughts continue to remain with the victim of this terrifying ordeal, something no one should ever have to go through, let alone at their place of work.
‘The strength he has shown since the attack has been remarkable.
‘On top of this, the courage he demonstrated in coming forward and reporting the assault was incredibly brave.
‘He was then able to subsequently identify the perpetrator, a crucial moment in allowing us to move the investigation forward.’
On 30 January, Khadir pleaded guilty at Woolwich Crown Court to possessing an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, making threats to kill and assault occasioning Actual Bodily Harm (ABH).
