Police hunt man who spat on teenage girl working at Essendon drive thru

Police are hunting a man who spat on a teenage girl working at a fast food restaurant in Essendon.

Investigators have been told the man entered the drive thru on Keilor Road, near McCracken Street, around 5pm on January 13 and placed an order.

He then became impatient and refused to wait at the first window to pay for his order.

He drove to the second window, where he was told by staff to return to the first window but refused.

The man argued with staff before spitting at the employee.

The saliva went all over the girl’s face and neck, and also inside her mouth.

The man then drove off.

Police have released images of a man they wish to speak with in relation to the incident.

The vehicle is believed to be a black Mercedes sedan with registration 1FQ 40B.
