When a Visalia man discovered his food order wasn't what he expected, police said he decided to take it out on the delivery man.

Now, Brian Hughes, 32, is sitting in a Tulare County jail cell waiting to hear the charges against him.

Officers were called just after 11 p.m. Sunday to the 4700 block of West School Avenue for reports of an assault.

When officers arrived, they spoke with the victim, who told police he was a delivery food driver. Police didn't disclose what service the man worked for.

The victim told police he was trying to deliver an order at the home when he was confronted by Hughes.

Sgt. Mike Short said when the victim arrived at the home, Hughes "angrily" walked toward the delivery vehicle.

When the victim attempted to hand Hughes the food, the suspect slapped it out of his hand saying that "it wasn't right." Hughes then pulled out a knife and stabbed at the victim, Short said.

The victim was cut on his left arm. He managed to escape the suspect, ran to his car and dialed 911.

Officers were able to find Hughes nearby. The victim was able to identify him as his attacker.

Police said the victim's injuries were "superficial" and he refused medical treatment at the scene.

Hughes was arrested and booked into Tulare County Pretrial Facility on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. His bail was set at $50,000.

He is expected in court later this week.
