A man allegedly hit another man at a tasting table at Costco in Burbank on Sunday
A 24-year-old man has been charged in connection with punching a 78-year-old shopper in the face after the victim protested about how many samples the man had taken at a Nutella waffle tasting station at a Costco in Burbank, police said.
Derrick Gharabighi, of Burbank, has been charged with felony elder abuse and personal infliction of great bodily injury against a person over 70 years of age, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
The suspect is accused of striking a man in the face Sunday morning when the man told him he shouldn't take so many waffles after the alleged assailant took multiple samples off the table at the Costco at 1051 West Burbank Boulevard, officials said.
The victim suffered a cut above his left eye and swelling around his face and was hospitalized, officials said.
Gharabighi was booked into jail with bail set at $50,000.
It was not immediately clear whether he had an attorney.
70 year olds need to properly pick their possible physical confrontations and telling a 24 yo that looks like this perp to do anything wasn’t to smart.
Nah he is a camel jock that one, a natural son of the religion of peace.
And of raping young boys and punching old men.
I see D-Block pillow biting in his future.
What a shame that no younger, able-bodied man witnessed this punk’s disgusting behavior and decided to give him a taste of his own medicine.
There are folks that eat regularly at cosco or sams clubs sample stations. Sort of like eating at the grocery store then walking away from your shopping cart when your done.... only legal. Hell happy hour at the pup / tavern will get ya fed by only purchasing one beer these days.
Crazy days .....
I’d like to think if that punk did that here in TX, many of us would have kicked his ass on the spot.
Hitting an elderly man over a waffle sample?!
yes and both my parents USArmy WW 2,1 in Pearl Harbor on 12/7 were 2 of them and both had enough common sense to avoid a confrontation with an obvious loose screw when they encountered one.
Common sense being the operative words here which it appears you don’t possess
...yes, and similarly, it’s entirely the fault of the man wearing an expensive watch when he’s mugged. He shouldn’t have gone around tempting armed robbers.
Yes and these type people are very unstable,so think b4 you engage at your own risk and be prepared for anything?
depends on where he is walking
I’m not a violent man, but this seems like a legitimate use of force to me.
PS... want a little piece of heaven? Try putting 2 spoonfuls of Nutella in a milkshake :)
As a boy I was taught/told it was always wrong to hit a girl or old people/person who obviously were not capable of self defense. However such proprieties ended with the macho drug culture.
Well, he is wearing a wife beater in that selfie.
ROFL ROFL
Armo gang banging trash
If you are old, sick or frail, please go hide in the corner where you won't get hurt.
It is all about the little punk with a history of drugs, theft and trespassing.
