Ax-wielding maniac goes medieval on Dunkin’ Donuts shop

Who knew that donuts and coffee could turn a man into a berserker?

Apparently that’s the case because a disgruntled patron got so upset about being booted from a Connecticut Dunkin’ Donuts that he later returned to the shop wielding an ax.

Wilfred Levine, 63, was loitering in a New Britain sweets shop when two employees told him that he had to leave, according to FoxCT.

A short time later Levine, returned wielding a full-sized ax, jumped over the counter of the shop and demanded to see the two employees.

Wisely, the employees hid whereupon Levine “smashed the inside of the store with his ax” before proceeding outside and destroying the store’s front window, according to New Britain police.

When cops arrived Levine turned his attention to them, raising his ax as if to strike them down.

Unfortunately for Levine, the officers could defend themselves with more than just medieval shields — they tasered the onrushing assailant and took him into custody.

Levine faces charges including criminal attempt to commit first-degree assault, two counts of criminal attempt to assault police, two counts of first-degree criminal mischief, first-degree criminal trespass, possession of a dangerous weapon, interfering with police, second-degree breach of peace and first-degree reckless endangerment.

Bail was set at $750,000.
