Man Throws Vase At Hotel Worker When Asked To Put On Mask

MANCHESTER, NH - Manchester Police say Tuesday at around 11:00 pm they responded to the Holiday Inn Express on Porter St for a report of a person that was assaulted.

MPD Spokesperson Heather Hamel said "An employee told officers she had told a person in the lobby to put a mask on. She says he refused and started yelling and swearing at her. When she asked him to leave, the male picked up a glass vase and threw it at her, hitting her in the face. He then ran out."

Police later learned that the suspect had come into the hotel several times that day without a mask. The pictures provided show him during those times. However, prior to throwing the vase, the suspect did put a mask on.

The suspect is described as a black male, approximately 6’3” tall, 150 lbs, last seen wearing a black hoodie, black Adidas sweatpants, and black shoes.
