An employee attempted to intervene and the subject turned his ire towards him and a face to face yelling match ensued . After apparently running out of invective , the subject found the young assistant manager and demanded the immediate termination , of employment , not life , of the other employee .

The police were called after his departure and were able to watch the entire incident on the security camera system . The matter is under investigation with the outcome pending contact with the other party .
