We now know the identity of a man who was caught on camera throwing a full cup of hot coffee at a Dunkin' Donuts employee.
Philadelphia Police just don't where he is.
Police identified the accused coffee tosser, previously known by store employees only as "Will," as 36-year-old William Houser of the 3400 block of N Carlisle Street.
Police say Houser -- who remained on the loose Wednesday -- was angry over an expired coupon when he tossed the coffee onto the woman's face on the afternoon of Jan. 8 inside the doughnut shop at N. Broad Street and Wyoming Avenue in the city's Logan section.
Houser faces an aggravated assault charge for the caught-on-camera outburst.
According to investigators, he frequents the store location. Last week, police say Houser walked into the store and ordered a coffee. He tried using a coupon to pay for the coffee but wasn’t allowed to since the coupon expired, according to investigators.
After paying for the cup of coffee, he got into a verbal argument with the woman behind the counter, investigators said.
During the argument, he began to leave the store but as he walked towards the door he turned back around and thrust his cup of hot liquid into the worker’s face.
"I was in shock, I saw him keep jumping at me. I knew he was going to do something," said Sheree Sutton, the employee.
"It was hot, yeah, but most of it hit my shirt the same time it hit my face, so I didn't feel as much, but I felt it," Sutton said.
Sutton was treated at an area hospital for coffee burns and some problems with her eyes that persisted days later.
"Sometimes people like that need help, they need help to control their anger. I hope he gets the help he deserves,” said Sutton.
Police hope that someone knows where Houser is hiding and that they will alert detectives by calling 215-686-8477, by texting a tip to 773847 or by submitting an anonymous tip online.
