Detroit sisters accused of stabbing restaurant worker after wrong food order

Two Detroit sisters — one of whom was nine months pregnant at the time — are accused of attacking a worker at a local chicken restaurant after a dispute over a wrong order, according to prosecutors. Investigators allege one of the women stabbed the employee while both sisters also tried to hurl hot grease, pans and other objects at her.

Brianna Long and Kierianna Long have each been charged in connection with the May 30 incident. The charges include assault with intent to murder, assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, and assault with a dangerous weapon, according to local reports. Both women have entered not guilty pleas.

Prosecutors say the sisters went behind the counter and confronted a 23-year-old restaurant employee after receiving the incorrect order. The encounter quickly escalated into a violent attack, authorities said.

According to prosecutors, the women threw objects at the employee, chased her through the restaurant, and struck her with pots and pans. They also allegedly attempted to pour hot grease on her head and threatened to kill her during the assault.

One of the sisters allegedly told the worker, “I’m going to kill you,” WDIV reported.

The injured employee had to be taken to the hospital for surgery after she ran out of the restaurant and hid inside a stranger’s vehicle while calling for help.

Brianna, 29, and Kierianna, 26, fled the scene after the attack but were eventually arrested by police.

Defense attorneys attempted to dispute the allegations in court, arguing that the employee triggered the assault by saying that she did not “give a f—” about the food order error before throwing items including knives first during the incident.

Brianna, who was 9 months pregnant at the time of the incident, gave birth four days before her arraignment, her attorney said, ClickonDetroit reported. She pleaded with the judge by saying that she was innocent and had a 4-day-old baby at home.

Both sisters pleaded not guilty to the charges. Brianna was held on a $25,000 cash bond and Kierianna was held on a $100,000 cash bond.
