Due to an absurd reason, a dispute in a bakery in Wiesbaden escalates so much that the salesman hits the customer with a broom.

Wiesbaden – This purchase in a bakery will keep the two people involved in front of and behind the counter busy for a long time.

The reason for the argument may sound completely harmless, but tempers heat up as quickly as bread in the oven.

The 63-year-old customer wanted to pay for his rolls with a 5-euro note in the Westend bakery in Wiesbaden on Friday (June 17) at around 8:30 a.m.

According to the police, the 44-year-old seller refused because the banknote was said to have been too damaged.

This made the customer disproportionately angry, the two men argued and the senior threw a newspaper at the seller.

He then paid with another bill and left the store.

But that was only the first act, as reported by fnp.de.

Shortly thereafter, the 63-year-old returned to the bakery to ask for his newspaper back.

The seller handed them to him and also gave him back the change that he had previously left lying around, the police said.

Then he gave the man house ban.

The senior then got angry again and threw the change coins in the seller's face with all his might.

In response, the 44-year-old picked up a broom and beat him until he left the store.

The sales area was well frequented at the time of the events, which is why the police are specifically looking for witnesses who observed the events.

The police will take tips on 0611 345-2340.

The two men were not seriously injured.

In Wiesbaden, there have often been incidents at bakeries.

This is also the case when a witness to a theft in Wiesbaden intervenes and is injured himself.

The 61-year-old then had to be admitted to a hospital.
