Police arrested 39-year-old Adam Kowarsh after he attacked a staffer with a loaf of bread at a Safeway grocery store in Fremont, California. SFGate reports that Kowarsh walked into the store shouting before heading to the back of the store and screaming at employees there for reasons unknown. When told to pay for his items and leave, things didn't get much better.

An unnamed employee who tried to calm Kowarsh down was then shoved several times before struck multiple times in the face with a baguette. While French bread sounds like an odd weapon of choice, it's got a pretty hard crust and can do some damage.

Fortunately, the employee didn't suffer any major injuries, and police were able to handcuff and escort Kowarsh out of the store. He was later booked on suspicion of battery and violating a probation. The unnamed staffer is pressing charges.
