That worker started bleeding badly and was taken to a hospital, one Trader Joe’s employee on the scene told Vice News. Neither Trader Joe’s nor the New York Police Department immediately responded to a request for comment from The Post. In an interview with NBC, Kenya Friend-Daniel, a spokesperson for the grocery store chain, said that eight store employees “suffered some sort of injury” but that all had recovered and were back at work. ADFriend-Daniel said that Trader Joe’s is cooperating with a police investigation and that the chain does not think the altercation was prompted by employees’ requests for the men to cover their faces. The altercation at the Manhattan Trader Joe’s reportedly began when Carrero and Escobar entered the store at 8:50 p.m. on July 14, just minutes before closing.
