Lawsuit alleges Whole Foods security guard choked man unconscious
Manhattan NY December 1 2018
A Whole Foods security guard slammed a customer to the ground and choked him until he passed out, according to a lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme court.
Orin Peters, 29, was at the market on West 125th Street in Harlem on Aug. 26 when the guard attacked him and put the shopper in a chokehold until he lost consciousness “for over one minute,” the suit claims.
Peters is suing Whole Foods, the security company and the unidentified guard for assault and battery.
Whole Foods did not return a request for comment.
