These teenagers may have taken their Dunkin too seriously. Montclair, NJ Patch reported that on August 26, a group of teenagers attacked the manager of a Montclair, New Jersey Dunkin Donuts, located on Bloomfield Avenue.
The Montclair Police Department said that six to seven girls entered the Montclair store, unmasked and asked for free donuts. The State of New Jersey requires individuals to wear a mask when in indoor spaces open to the public, including retail, recreational, and entertainment businesses, government buildings open to the public, and on public transportation."
The manager said that they became difficult, and when they asked the girls to leave, they allegedly became especially "abusive," police claimed. That's when two girls tried to get behind the counter while one girl assaulted the manager. Two customers then intervened, and the two girls attacked them before running off.
"One female assaulted the manager while another attempted to get behind the counter," Montclair PD reported. "Two customers observed the altercation and attempted to intervene. The females reportedly attacked the customers before fleeing towards Church Street."
No injuries were reported, and there were no arrests, as per News 12 New Jersey.

In February at a Hamilton, New Jersey Dunkin location, a man was arrested for assault.
Tap Into Hamilton reported that police were told a "dispute between an employee of the Dunkin Donuts, and an employee of the neighboring Boston Market restaurant" broke out. This argument escalated into a physical altercation, as per the Hamilton Township Police Department. 37-year-old Safwat Habashy was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, various weapons charges, and criminal mischief.
Additionally, last December in Monroe, Connecticut, two burglars robbed the Dunkin Donuts at 230 Roosevelt Drive. The Monroe Sun reported that they took the security camera after breaking into the store, but other business' cameras were able to capture footage of them making a getaway.
