Hazards at work, 38

Oh yes, that's a fine way to raise your children - a swell mother and outstanding citizen indeed!

Story:
UK -- A shop assistant has been attacked by an angry customer who threw a bottle at her after complaining about the price of her shopping.

Witnesses said there was blood 'all over the floor' when the shop worker was attacked by the woman who was with her two children.

The shopper hit out at the assistant at Savers Health and Beauty in Woolwich at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

The woman had been turned away from the shop because she had become abusive, saying "I'll knock you out".

She exploded when the price of her shopping came to £51, and returned 20 minutes later when staff again refused to serve her. The shopper then turned violent.

"We refused to serve her so she kicked off, started running her pram into other customers. She called us racist. Then she threw a bottle at me, a full bottle of water. It must have been the lid that hit me because it cut into my head and there was blood all over my head."

The shop assistant says she has been suffering from headaches since the incident.
