Two sisters in Detroit allegedly assaulted a restaurant worker over a wrong food order.
Kierianna Long and Brianna Long face felony charges over the May 30 incident at a chicken restaurant, according to Metro Detroit News.
After receiving an incorrect order, the sisters allegedly went behind the counter and attacked the employee, Metro Detroit News and local NBC affiliate WDIV reported, citing prosecutors.
The sisters allegedly chased the worker through the restaurant, throwing items at her, including hot grease and pots and pans, Metro Detroit News reported. One of the sisters allegedly stabbed the worker in the stomach, according to the outlet and WDIV.
One of the sisters allegedly told the worker, “I’m going to kill you,” according to WDIV.

According to Metro Detroit News and WDIV, the worker also threw items at the sisters during the attack, including the knife later used to stab her.
She ultimately fled the restaurant to hide inside a stranger’s vehicle and tried to contact help, the outlets reported.
She has not been publicly identified, but Metro Detroit News described her as 23 years old. She was hospitalized and underwent surgery as a result of the alleged attack, WDIV reported, citing officials.
The Michigan sisters fled the scene but were later taken into custody, according to WDIV.
Prosecutors say Kierianna stabbed the employee, while Brianna took part in the assault, Metro Detroit News reported.
Brianna is also accused of helping drive the duo away from the scene after the alleged assault, according to the outlet.
Court records viewed by PEOPLE show both Kierianna and Brianna were charged with assault with intent to murder, assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, and assault with a dangerous weapon.

The sisters appeared in court on Monday, June 8, for an arraignment hearing, during which it was revealed that Brianna was nine months pregnant at the time of the alleged assault, according to Metro Detroit News and WDIV. According to the latter outlet, she gave birth just four days before the Monday court appearance.
During the appearance, the sisters’ defense attorneys claimed the restaurant employee threw items first, according to the outlet.
The attorneys also claimed the worker told the sisters she didn’t “give a f—” about the incorrect order that sparked the alleged assault, per WDIV.
Kierianna and Brianna both pleaded not guilty, according to Metro Detroit News. They are being held on $100,000 and $25,000 bonds, respectively.
