Early Tuesday morning (Feb. 20), a man in a blue shirt threatened a Triangle Deli attendant with a firearm.
The New Orleans Police Department is searching for two men involved in an aggravated battery incident involving a pistol in the Seventh Ward.
Early Tuesday morning (Feb. 20) around 4:16 a.m., a man wearing a blue shirt walked up to the window of Triangle Deli at 1904 North Broad Street, police said. He asked if his friend was at work.
The attendant told him that his friend no longer worked at the deli, at which point the man became angry. Police said he pulled out a semi-automatic pistol three times during the encounter, and yelled at the attendant and threatened to shoot him.
Eventually, the man in the blue shirt and another man fled the scene. Police said they are seeking both men. It was not clear what role the other man played in the incident.
NOPD asks that anyone with information regarding the incident or the subjects should contact 504-658-6050.
