Three women were arrested after authorities say they tried to skip out on their dinner tab at a Metairie restaurant, injuring one of the employees during the getaway.
The violent dine and dash occurred Wednesday evening at TGI Fridays, 3330 Veterans Memorial Blvd., said Capt. Jason Rivarde, spokesman for the department.
Tiara Grant, 30, Nicole Carter, 33, and Angele Grant, 30, all of New Orleans, had a meal at the restaurant but walked out to the parking lot without paying their $79.50 check, according to the Sheriff's Office.
An unidentified staffer followed the women outside and tried to take photo of the license plate on the trio's vehicle.
Carter is accused of grabbing two knives from the front passenger side before confronting the staffer. Carter cut the staffer on the hand and chest before hopping into the vehicle, which sped off, Rivarde said.
The employee's injuries were not considered life-threatening.
