Milwaukee Police are looking for a man who walked into the kitchen and punched a worker in the face at the George Webb restaurant near South 21st and Mitchell Streets.
he victim, a young mother of three, told TODAY'S TMJ4 she was taken to the hospital and treated for a concussion.
She says the man had been in the restaurant before. This time, he was angry about the service he was given and lost control.
The attack happened around 1 a.m. on Friday, June 29.
It was all caught on surveillance video, which Milwaukee Alderman Bob Donovan made public.
“People need to see this,” Donovan said. “It’s shocking. But this is what’s happening in some parts of our city. This comes amid a spike in crime in my district. If we don’t start paying attention to neighborhoods that are on the fence, they’re going to fall on the wrong side of the fence.”
During the altercation, the surveillance video shows another worker pull out a gun in self-defense. That prompted the suspect to leave. The worker with the gun has since quit her job at George Webb.
The victim says that worker has a concealed carry permit and that their boss allows them to conceal and carry for their protection if they have a license to do so.
“It’s so frustrating to me as an elected official that the other waitress felt it so important that she arm herself to come and work in my aldermanic district,” Donovan said. “Yet, I thank God she was armed. Otherwise, I shudder to think what may have happened to those two women.”
People in the neighborhood say the suspect is a known drug-dealer who’s been abusive toward others. Milwaukee Police say they know who they’re looking for, but the suspect has not been arrested.
A spokesman from George Webb sent us this statement:

A woman pulled a gun from her glove compartment and shot a carjacker in the head as he drove away in her SUV with her and her two toddlers inside in North Texas.
The incident took place late Wednesday night at a Dallas-area Shell Station, police said, when the suspect, identified as 36-year-old Rickey Wright, approached the vehicle. The mother, Michelle Booker-Hicks, was out of the car paying for gas while her 2- and 4-year old sons sat in the vehicle's back seats, Dallas' Fox 4 reported.
Before she returned from the store, the mother saw a man enter her vehicle and attempt to flee, per CBS 11. But before he drove away, the mother jumped into the back of the car herself.
Booker-Hicks told the man to stop, she told Fox 4, before reaching over to the vehicle's glove compartment and retrieving the gun inside. She fired a single shot to his face, she said.
“I’m not a killer, but I do believe in defending what’s mine,” she told Fox 4. “I hope that woke him up.”
Wright then drove the vehicle off the road, crashing into a utility pole, police said. He was in stable but serious condition Thursday morning, CBS 11 reported, while the mother and two children were unharmed.
Wright was charged with unlawful restraint and unauthorized use of motor vehicle.
