NEW YORK (WCBS 880) – An irate customer shot a Bronx carwash worker in the leg after the two men argued about the use of a vacuum cleaner, police said Friday as they released video of a suspect.
The violent confrontation happened at the B & G Hand Car Wash on E. Tremont Avenue in the Van Nest section on the afternoon of Oct. 17.

The customer angrily left the location, only to return 30 minutes later with a gun, police said.
He shot the worker in the leg and then fled the area, according to police.
The worker was taken to Jacobi Medical Center in stable condition.
