The NYPD wants to find the man who threw merchandise at a worker inside a deli on Flushing Avenue in Brooklyn.

NEW YORK (FOX 5 NY) - A man who injured a deli counter worker as he demanded a bagel in Brooklyn was arrested on Thursday.

Video showed Edilberto Burgos, 24, of Myrtle Avenue, yelling and throwing merchandise at the worker at the Hi Mango store on Nov. 25.

The audio is muted but the man demands a "cinnamon toast cinnamon raisin bagel with bacon, egg and cheese right now."

The irate man hit the 25-year-old worker on the head and body causing bruising and swelling, according to cops.  The victim was treated at Wyckoff Hospital.

Burgos fled the scene. Police put out a description at the time and asked for the public's help tracking him down.
