A man pulled a gun on a food court worker after she turned down his invitation for drinks in St. Petersburg. The episode happened Monday evening near a shopping center on Kollontai Street, according to police officials. The man approached a 17-year-old fast food employee with an offer to have beer together. When she refused him, he displayed a weapon threateningly before walking away, claiming it was just a joke.
Police quickly caught the troublemaker, who carried an air pistol during the confrontation. They identified him as a 66-year-old unemployed resident from the Nevsky district. Authorities will bring him to the police station for further investigation soon. This event follows another recent incident where someone with a knife attacked people walking on city streets.
The teenager remained at her workplace after the frightening encounter. Local law enforcement responded promptly to ensure public safety. Similar disturbances have occasionally occurred throughout the northern capital. Restaurant managers often train staff to handle difficult customers without escalating situations. The shopping center continued normal operations despite the alarming incident.
