MD Jobul Hussain faces an assault charge after hitting a grocery store clerk in Michigan with a 4-pound frozen fish. Reports say Hussain became angry when the clerk explained that their counter had already closed because of the Ramadan holiday.

On April 2, at around 7:13 p.m., MD Jobul Hussain, 60, allegedly became angry when he approached a fish counter at Desi Fruit Market in Warren, around 20 miles north of Detroit, Michigan, that had already closed.
