I never eat at salad bars, but this still made me feel ever so unwell:
"A man arrested Friday after he was found spraying a foul liquid on a salad bar in Midtown has also been charged with a similar offense that day at Grand Central Terminal, Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials and the police said yesterday. The suspect, Marco Arellano, 34, was detained Friday after an employee at Alpine Gourmet Farm at 480 Seventh Avenue near 36th Street saw him spraying the store’s salad bar with a liquid, the police said. He was charged in that incident with reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, criminal tampering and public urination.
Because of the foul smell, witnesses told the police that they believed the substance in the bottles Mr. Arellano was found with might have been a mixture of urine and feces. But Sandra Mullin, a City Health Department spokeswoman, said yesterday that tests had not been completed to determine if human waste was present in the liquid. Preliminary tests have confirmed that the liquid contained bacteria, she said."
