This is the bizarre moment a woman attacked an employee at a Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen outlet in Forth Worth, Texas, allegedly because she wanted free drinks.

The staff member working at the branch on 1700 block of Eastchase Parkway Monday night had a conversation with the woman about her request for complimentary beverages.

'That's when the lady told me I was being rude; I told her, "Ma'am have a nice day," and I turned around,' Wendy Rodriguez told NBC 5.
