KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -Knoxville Police Department officers said video captured a man identified as Shaquille Boyd, 32, going inside the Waffle House on May 20.

He went into a secure office at the Waffle House, not open to the public, and started yelling at a female and a witness. Boyd then grabbed the female’s purse off the wall and attempted to leave. The female jumped on Boyd’s back, but he threw her to the ground. She then reportedly put the purse around her neck in an attempt to stop him from taking it. Boyd hit the female in the face “several times with a closed fist” and ran out of the store before officers could show up, the report noted.

A few hours later, KPD officers responded to an alleged aggravated assault at Tyson Park. Officers said they immediately recognized Boyd from the Waffle House incident.

According to a report, a photo was taken to the woman at the Waffle House and she identified him as the male who assaulted her.

Boyd was charged with burglary and assault – bodily injury.
