Since nobody was hurt and the perp is in jail, I guess we can laugh at this apparent mad-dog scene from a Danville CA mall.

Man arrested for ‘anti-Christian’ mall disturbance
Kiosk employee allegedly tore a crucifix from someone’s neck

Police arrested 22-year-old Abdul Walid Hamid of Hayward on the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 4, after he reportedly tore a crucifix from a person’s neck and scared others at Stoneridge Shopping Center.

Hamid, an employee at a mall kiosk near Starbucks, has been charged with battery, terrorist threats and grand theft.

According to reports, Hamid was yelling “Allah is power” and “Islam is great” while holding a pen in a fist over his head. Witnesses said he shouted anti-Christian comments, said police.

Lt. Mike Elerick of the Pleasanton Police Department said the man was not provoked and didn’t threaten violence, but he committed robbery when he grabbed and broke a crucifix off someone’s neck.

Coworkers told police that Hamid’s actions were out of the ordinary and that he had worked at the kiosk for years.

Police also said they weren’t aware of a prior criminal history for the man. (emphasis added)

Good thing he didn’t have s sword.

Actually, tearing something off somebody’s neck is assault and Hamid was in fact charged with battery. I’m also wondering how he worked at the kiosk “for years” but still needed an interpreter when he got to the slammer.
Finally, “near Starbuck’s” is a little redundant when we are talking about a CA mall.
