BURGER BRUTE IN BIG PICKLE!

Charged with killing complainin­g customer

-

BURGER-SLINGING bully Antoine Kendrick sucker-punched a customer at an Arizona fast-food joint — and now he’s being grilled for murder after the senior died from his injuries, lawmen say.

After placing an order with Kendrick, 35, at a Wendy’s in Prescott Valley, the 67-year-old Dewey resident — whose name was not released by police — returned with a beef about his food.

That’s when cops say surveillan­ce footage captured the coward running around the counter and delivering a brutal blow to the unsuspecti­ng victim’s head — as he licked an ice cream treat!

The punch knocked the older man to the floor, causing him to clock his noggin and lose consciousn­ess.

“That was a pretty hard hit. That was a Mike Tyson hit,” one witness recalls. “The customer didn’t touch him, so he had no right to touch the customer, period, end of story.”

Authoritie­s say the video also captures cruel Kendrick standing over the helpless man before callously leaving him sprawled on the floor.

The mortally wounded victim was airlifted to a hospital, where he clung to life for ten days before passing away.

Kendrick’s initial aggravated assault charge has since been supersized to seconddegr­ee murder. He remains in custody while awaiting trial.
