A former KFC employee reportedly did not take getting fired well.

The suspect allegedly attempted to stab a manager at one of the fast-food chain’s locations in Indiana after receiving the bad news. When several employees attempted to intervene, one of them was stabbed in the hand.

The suspect then left the KFC and reportedly walked to a nearby McDonald’s, where he was eventually picked up by police.
