Italian restaurant worker loses it one minute into his shift by punching his colleague and his wife in their faces

A disgruntled restaurant employee allegedly punched his co-worker and his co-worker's wife in their faces.

McKinley Pace Jr, 35, was just one minute into his shift at DeNunzio's restaurant in Jeanette, Pennsylvania on March 27 when the alleged attack began, according to a criminal complaint obtained by WTAE.

He started complaining about doing other employees' work, the other man involved in the fight told authorities.

'I've had enough, I'm going to punch him in the face,' Pace Jr allegedly yelled out.

The other man involved in the fight said he then responded: 'I'm right here, you don't have to go upstairs.'

At that point, police said Pace lunged at the man and began striking him in the face multiple times.

The victim's wife also said that after Pace attacked her husband, he approached her and struck her in the face as well.

By the time police arrived on the scene, Pace Jr had already left the area.
