It happened yesterday evening in Foggia. “They tried to run me over to escape and not pay the bill,” explains Lin, a 29-year-old Chinese owner of the Sushi Xian restaurant on the outskirts of Foggia, reporting what happened last night at 11.30pm in the car park of his restaurant.

The shocking story

«Four people, three adults and a child, arrived at the premises around 8.30pm – continues Lin -. They took complete menus (the all you can eat formula) as well as bottles of wine, water and desserts for a total of 109 euros. We basically sat for three hours and, when it was time to pay the bill, I noticed first one of the adults leaving the room with the minor and then the other two. 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. Lin is 29 years old and has lived in Italy with his family for 12 years. You opened the business on the outskirts of Foggia 8 years ago. “I wasn’t afraid but I am very angry and saddened by what happened because someone works seriously every day”, she concludes, announcing that she has filed a complaint with the police.
