A man who assaulted and threatened to kill a worker at a London chicken shop with an imitation pistol after he was given the wrong sauces has been sentenced to three years in prison.
London's Metropolitan Police said 18-year-old Marwan Khadir carried out the attack on Christmas Eve.
He threatened to shoot and kill the employee and assaulted him multiple times after complaining about his order.
A video released by police of the incident showed Khadir asking the employee "how many garlic sauces did you put in the bag?", adding: "I asked you for chips."
Khadir then returned to his home and discovered wrong sauces in the bag, with video showing him pacing around his flat and gesticulating while complaining about the order on the phone.
He then returned to the shop and shouted at the employee: "Bossman, come here. Why you give me four burger sauce? I asked for three garlic and three mayo."
He then asked the worker to open the door of the counter and jumped on it before being pushed back.
Khadir then pulls out the imitation firearm, cocks it, and shouts: "I’m going to kill you now, are you mad?"
Detective Sergeant Amy Cross said police's thoughts remained with the victim.
"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," she said.
"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."
Khadir pleaded guilty to possessing an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, making threats to kill and assault occasioning actual bodily harm on January 30 at Woolwich Crown Court.
