'Bagel Boss Guy' Chris Morgan Cuffed At Long Island Marina
Wasn't hard to see this coming.
BAY SHORE, NY – Chris Morgan, the Long Island man whose rant at a local bagel shop last month went insanely viral, was handcuffed at the Bay Shore Marina Sunday evening.
Third Precinct police officers were doing a patrol check at the marina when they observed Morgan shouting at people, swinging a small bat and causing a disturbance at about 5:45 p.m., Suffolk Police said.
"Put your hands behind your back," an officer tells Morgan in a video shared on Facebook. In another video, Morgan can be seen holding a bat and yelling at another man for spraying something in his eyes.

Morgan, who is scheduled to fight former Mets star Lenny Dykstra in Atlantic City next month, was taken to a hospital for evaluation. No criminal charges have been filed.
Morgan's wild diatribe about women making fun of his 5-foot height at a Bay Shore Bagel Boss last month has been viewed more than 26 million times on Twitter since it was posted by another customer on July 10.

I'm starting to think mental stability-challenged Captain Ahab may not be the best role model for him. https://t.co/jbwoLMznFJ
