China Overseas Chinese Network, July 14 (Xinhua), according to the United States, "World Daily" reported that a Chinese-owned restaurant operated by a Chinese in West Village, Manhattan, New York, had a case of malicious destruction. A man forced the outdoor dining pergola to be destroyed. After receiving the report, the Sixth Bureau of the Municipal Police of the jurisdiction called the suspect a "familiar face" and often wandered in the jurisdiction. The Chinese shopkeeper felt helpless.
It is understood that the Chinese restaurant is located at Bleecker St. in the West Village of Manhattan. The police said that according to the surveillance video of the place where the crime occurred, a man had wandered in the nearby street. When he walked in front of the shop, he looked back at the dining pergola on the side of the road and turned to start waving with a wooden sign placed beside him. Hit and shake with your hands until the fulcrum on one side was broken, and you still left the scene with hand pressure.
Mr. Yan, the owner of the shop, said that after the staff came to work, they saw the "tragic situation" outside the shop, and then checked the surveillance video in the shop to witness the entire process of the man's crime. He said that the entire dining table was made in accordance with the regulations of the Transportation Bureau, and the pergola was firmly fixed on the surrounding wooden box. Unexpectedly, this manpower was extremely great, and it was destroyed in two or three times.
After the incident, in order to continue business, Mr. Yan has re-ordered materials to rebuild the pergola. However, because many businesses are preparing for outdoor dining recently, many materials are not only out of stock but also increase in price, and the delivery time is also uncertain.
After receiving the report, the Sixth Branch of the Municipal Police of the jurisdiction cooperated with the victim to fill out the case report, and also recognized through video surveillance that the man who committed the crime was a "familiar face" within the jurisdiction, and was arrested several times for committing crimes.
In this regard, Mr. Yan expressed helplessness. He was afraid that the pergola built here would be destroyed again, and he could only close it every day and put it in the store. And the building where the restaurant is located has a long history, and it is not convenient to install rolling doors in a short time.
"I left 200 dollars of change in the cash box in the store." Mr. Yan said that if he encounters a similar situation in the future, he hopes that at least the suspects will be "somewhat harvested" and will not be ashamed to smash the store. "Whether it is a public health problem or a social problem, the last person who suffers is always a pragmatic worker." (Zhang Chen)
