A teenager working at a fast food restaurant in Fall River, Massachusetts, is accused of attacking a customer Tuesday.

NBC affiliate WJAR reported that 19-year-old Colby McCarthy was arrested after allegedly throwing a metal tray at the head of a customer at Popeyes.

Police reportedly responded to the restaurant on Pleasant Street around 6:40 p.m. after a worker and customer argued over the length of time a food order took.

The customer, a 22-year-old man, was taken to a hospital after being hit above the left eye with the tray, police said.

McCarthy is charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
