A FAT WOMAN who got stuck in a restaurant doorway was prodded with forks.
A FAT WOMAN who got stuck in a restaurant doorway was prodded with forks
wielded by her angry fellow diners.
Cops say the woman "squealed and suffered horribly" as a wild-eyed mob
jabbed her and hurled cruel insults, including calling her names like
"Miss Piggy" and "tub of lard" and taunting her with the childhood
rhyme, "Fatty, fatty, two by four, can't get through the bathroom door . . ."
"This unfortunate woman was poked and stabbed at least 200 times and
maybe even more," says a Chicago police spokesman, adding that he is
both embarrassed and saddened by the insensitivity of his fellow Chicagoans.
"The forks were plastic," he says, "but they still managed to inflict
a lot of damage. Doctors later told me the victim looked like a pincushion."
"Basically these people were upset that they couldn't use the rest
rooms. The woman was trapped in a doorway that leads to both the
men's and ladies' toilets."
The 647-pound woman -- whose name Weekly World News editors are
withholding to spare her any further embarrassment -- "was in great
distress before she was freed," notes the cop, who says the ugly
incident unfolded in a popular barbecue restaurant known, ironically,
for its Southern-style hospitality.
"The victim was squealing and crying in pain, not to mention being
humiliated, when police and firefighters arrived to help her. They
estimate that as many as 40 men and women had taken turns poking
her with their forks."
Firefighters cut and pried the by-then exhausted woman free with
saws, crowbars and the Jaws of Life, a special tool usually reserved
for ripping open car doors to free passengers trapped in wreckage.
She was taken to a hospital where she was treated for puncture wounds,
shock and dehydration. Getting through the restaurant's main door was no problem.
In the words of the police spokesman, "It was a double door."
The restaurant's manager says the doorway leading to the rest rooms
was "normal size," but in a nod to political correctness after the fact,
commented that the woman "had an alternative body image and unfortunately got wedged as she tried to go through."
Cops say her assailants will almost certainly face assault and battery
harges after investigators pore over videotape taken from the restaurant's security cameras to help them identify everyone who participated in the bizarre attack.
"When I realized I was stuck I got scared and starting yelling,
'Help! Help me!' " the woman said in a brief interview attended by her
attorney. "A server tried to push me through but she couldn't."
"Everything went downhill from there. A man started yelling at me to
get out of the way so he could go to the bathroom. Then I heard a woman cursing at me and calling me names like 'fat a--' and 'Miss Piggy.' It was awful."
"And then I felt the forks. They poked me over and over and over and
over again. I remember sobbing and yelling at them, 'Why are you doing
this to me? Why? Why?'"
An eyewitness who claims to have tried to calm the angry customers
confirms the woman's story.
"Thank goodness I had my cell phone. If I hadn't called for help, the fat
lady might have been poked and prodded to death."
The victim, 41, says she's planning to sue the restaurant and its patrons
for actual and punitive damages in excess of $20,000.
