Two Taco Bell employees were beaten and stabbed by a group of people after they asked them not to sit on a counter at the restaurant, police said.
Police said they’ve arrested one of the five people wanted for the assault last month on Atlantic Avenue in Woodhaven, Queens. Erickson Cepeda, 25, was charged with assault and gang assault.
Police were still looking for the other four people wanted in the assault. Authorities say they beat a 21-year-old man and stabbed a 22-year-old man when they asked them to get off of a cashier counter they were sitting on.
The 21-year-old had bruising to his face and body and the 22-year-old suffered two stab wounds to his torso. The latter was taken to Jamaica Hospital in serious but stable condition.
The group took off in a black SUV taxi and were dropped off near Jamaica Avenue and 132nd Street, police said.
The NYPD asks anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
