MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido did not mince words when it came to a recent case. “If you assault someone with a fish in our county you will be prosecuted,” he said. “A frozen fish is dangerous if you use it to hit someone on the head.”

His statement came Wednesday in response to an altercation at Desi Fruit Market on Nine Mile Road. The shop closed early on Sunday due to the Ramadan holiday, leaving one fishy customer unsatisfied. When the clerk informed 60-year-old MD Jobul Hussain that the fish counter was closed, Hussain became angry and attacked him with a four-pound frozen hilsa, which is a type of herring. The clerk was sent to the hospital.
Warren Police “hooked and netted” the suspect, according to a Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office press release. He was arraigned in Warren District Court and given a $5,000 personal bond.
His next court date has not yet been scheduled.
