A 20-year-old McDonald's shift manager remains in intensive care after a coworker allegedly threw hot oil on him during a violent assault at a Yuba City, California restaurant over the weekend. Jacob Smith, 20, suffered severe burns to his face, neck, right arm and back, requiring specialised treatment in the burn unit at UC Davis Medical Centre.
Police in Sutter County identified the suspect as 23-year-old Jalani Bluett, who was arrestedfour days after fleeing the scene, though Investigators have not disclosed a motive, and it appears Jacob Smith still does not know why he was attacked at work. Smith's mother, Amber Smith, launched a GoFundMe campaign that has raised $96,000 (approximately £71,700) to help cover mounting medical expenses and recovery costs.
