A Melbourne cafe, La Vallee in Essendon, has released disturbing CCTV footage showing a woman deliberately hitting a waitress with a plate. The incident, which occurred last Friday around 1 pm, left the waitress with a chipped tooth. The video shows the woman narrowly avoiding the waitress before smashing the plate from her hands and calmly walking away. The cafe is asking for public help to identify the woman, describing her behavior as 'abhorrent'. Several people have commented on the video, including Australian billionaire Adrian Portelli, who condemned the behavior. A local Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym offered free self-defense classes to the waitress, and a nearby business plans to review its own security footage. The cafe is seeking justice and accountability for the incident.
