Spinach Attack

Spinach attack prank goes wrong at Boston Market. An attack that was meant to be a prank with spinach leaves one teenager with burns. It happened at a Boston Market drive-through in California.

A 17-year-old boy has been arrested for the attack. Police say a 21-year-old worker at a Boston Market suffered second-degree burns when someone threw a creamed spinach dish at his face Friday night. It's being described as a prank gone wrong.

Roseville police Lt. Michael Doane says the attack appeared to be a prank known as "fire in the hole." It's a new Internet sensation where teenagers video-record themselves throwing food or drinks into the faces of drive-through workers. The teen turned himself in Wednesday, accompanied by his parents.

He was booked on suspicion of committing battery causing great bodily harm. Police are still trying to determine whether the three other youths who were in the car during the assault should be arrested. The worker, David Almas, was treated for serious face and neck burns.
