An Auckland man who smashed up a Wendy's store in Lynfield has been charged after his burger order saw him fly into a rage.



David Junior Ilolahia will appear in Auckland District Court, charged with threatening behaviour, assaulting police, disorderly behaviour and resisting police after he allegedly smashed tills, flipped tables and attacked a police officer.



The Blockhouse Bay resident verbally abused the Wendy's staff after his order placed at the drive-through came out wrong.



"The staff were very calm and handled it very well. None of our staff were injured, but they were verbally abused by the customer," said Faye Stretch, the store's marketing manager.



"They called police and that's when the incident between the man and the policeman happened."



Ilholahia, who has been described as a "very big man", allegedly picked the policeman up and threw him to the floor.



It is believed the officer may have broken his hand.

Once police back-up arrived to restrain Ilolahia, he was taken to hospital for treatment.
