Wendy's employee Antoine Kendrick sucker punches customer in Prescott Valley, AZ
[AZFamily] Surveillance video caught the moment a Prescott Valley Wendy’s employee came up to a customer and sucker-punched him after an argument a couple of weeks ago. On July 26, 35-year-old Antoine Kendrick was at the register taking the 67-year-old man’s order. However, police say the man then complained about his order, and that’s when things turned violent.

The man is seen hunched over and licking his Frosty when Kendrick comes out from behind the counter. To the unsuspecting man, Kendrick comes up next to him and immediately throws a punch, hitting the customer in the head, police said. The man falls to the ground as other customers are standing and watching. Kendrick looks at the man lying on the ground before he walks behind the counter, grabs some stuff, and walks away.

Investigators said when the man fell, he hit his head and was knocked unconscious. He was flown to a Valley hospital in critical condition. “Oh, wow that was a pretty hard hit. That was a Mike Tyson hit,” one customer said. “The customer didn’t touch him, so he had no right to touch the customer, period, end of story. I just think that’s horrible and wish it didn’t happen. It puts a bad light on our entire society.”

Another customer says he has been living in the area for 20 years and has never seen something like this. “It’s mellow up here, you don’t have that kind of stuff. It’s a shame. I feel for the guy that got hit. It’s not right.”

Kendrick was booked on one count of aggravated assault.

#1 We have no idea what the customer said before Mr. Kendrick came around the counter. Does Arizona have law around the idea of Fighting Words?

Why is it we see 16-30 y/o Black Males Sneak attacking older White & Asian Seniors?

Or have I missed reports of 16-30 Y/O White or Asian Males Sneak attacking Sr. Black Americans?

#4 Only an idiot would attack a senior. They could literally die in a skirmish that a younger person would shrug off. A moment of rage and you are in prison for murder.

#5 Re#3 They have no impulse control, they also look at prison as a passage of going through the street life.

#6 Another solid reason to just use the drive through.

#7 Clearly this was the retribution for the White Supremacy being displayed as he was eating his Vanilla Frosty. There are limits as to how much disrespect a proud Black Man can stand!...

/massive level of sarcasm off! This isn't just aggravated assault, it's a a racist hate crime, and the DA needs to lose his job if he doesn't add that charge.

#8 Considering hit location, approach, and strength disparity, that should be attempted murder.

Investigators said when the man fell, he hit his head and was knocked unconscious.

Bullshit. Man was hit, went unconscious, fell, and hit his head again.

I don't believe the bit about no audio either. Major chain, register surveillance, literally fit terabytes in size of a lunchbox.

#9 ^^ Many states have laws against recording audio along with video. Something to do with "'wiretapping laws' I think.

#10 And don't forget the overwhelming wave of older white and asian men attacking 16-30 Y/O black males.

#13 I'm so old I remember when all the MSM were solid on selling that the Knock Out Game was just a hoax.

Sounds right. Appreciate it.

#15 Well, you do have "This call may be recorded for customer assurance purposes," and the fact that the courts have pretty much come down on the side that the police cannot stop you from recording them, as long as you don't physically interfere with them.
