Last night in Foggia, around 11.30pm, they attempted to hit the owner of a sushi restaurant with their car to escape from the restaurant and avoid paying the 109 euro bill. The owner, a 29-year-old of Chinese nationality, who has been in Italy for 12 years, said it.
“They tried to run me over to escape and not pay the bill,” Lin explained. “Four people, three adults and a child, arrived at the premises around 8.30pm. They took complete menus with the all you can eat formula as well as bottles of wine, water and desserts for a total of 109 euros. They basically sat for three hours and, when it was time to pay the bill, I noticed first one of the adults with the minor leaving the room and then the other two” said Lin.
“When I asked where they were going they told me they had to get their wallet from the car. At that moment they got into the car, which was already driven by the man who had come out earlier, and started the car. I stood in front of the hood while they accelerated. All this for about fifteen meters before I moved to avoid getting hurt.”
The scene was immortalized by external video surveillance cameras, which will be viewed by the police. Lin, in fact, filed a complaint. “I wasn’t afraid – she said – but I am very angry and saddened by what happened because someone works seriously every day”.
