NORTH LAS VEGAS (KVVU/Gray News) - Police in North Las Vegas say a violent dispute that occurred over gravy sent a KFC worker to the hospital with multiple stab wounds.

The arrest report says Gerald Carter went back to the KFC restaurant at North Martin Luther King Boulevard and West Craig Road three times to complain about the gravy he received with his meal.

Officers say surveillance cameras captured Carter leaping over the counter and physically attacking a worker during his first visit. They say video shows Carter repeatedly punching and stabbing the victim and putting them in a chokehold for several seconds.

Officers say Carter delivered a “knockout punch” to the victim’s face before leaving the restaurant.

Carter now faces one count of attempted murder.
