Grubhub rewards New York restaurant after employees call police for woman who pleaded for help in her order notes

Grubhub is rewarding a New York restaurant for contacting police after a woman used the supply app to ask for help whereas she was allegedly being held hostage, CBS New York studies. 

Chipper Truck Cafe in Yonkers acquired the order round 5 a.m. on June 19 for a supply in the Bronx. In the order’s further notes part, the particular person ordering wrote, “please call the police… please don’t make it obvious.”

“People normally put notes like, ‘Can you leave it in my driveway? Can I have extra syrup in my order? Can I have an extra soda?” But by no means one thing like this,” employee Alicia Berme told CBS New York. 

Co-owner Alice Bermejo informed the station that employees instantly contacted her and her husband they usually informed them to not take any probabilities and to call police. 

When officers arrived on the supply location, they arrested 32-year-old Kemoy Royal, who is accused of abusing and raping a 24-year-old woman and holding her towards her will. The sufferer was taken to the hospital following the arrest. Royal faces a number of fees, together with rape, strangulation and illegal imprisonment, in response to CBS New York.

The woman informed police she was in a position so as to add the cry for help to her order when Royal allowed her to make use of her telephone. 

For their position in the incident, Grubhub is sending the restaurant $5,000.    

Royal was already needed by authorities for one other assault that came about on June 14, in which Royal is accused of sexually abusing a feminine neighbor who was visiting his condo, CBS New York studies. That woman managed to flee and reported the alleged abuse the following day.

Bermejo mentioned that after employees referred to as police, they’d no concept what had occurred to the particular person who requested for help till they acquired a telephone call the following day thanking them. But she is extraordinarily happy with her employees for doing the fitting factor. 

“We’re just grateful that this girl was saved,” Bermejo informed the station. “This is the most important part of this whole entire story.”
