QUINCY, Mass. -- Police say a man broke out a hatchet when someone asked about his loud music.
A man asked to turn down his radio at a Subway shop inside the Quincy Wal-Mart silenced the situation with a bang.
"Who carries around a hatchet," said one man.
Police say Kenneth Rosen did on Friday in the middle of the afternoon.
"He became enraged. He threw a tonic at patrons. He then pulled his hatchet out and started swinging the hatchet around at the victims," said Capt. John Dougan of the Quincy Police Department.
Police say Rosen had his radio blaring when two customers asked him to turn it down. Instead, police say Rosen threw down the hatchet and sliced a sandwich in half.
"He's got some anger management issues probably," said Angela Kyles, a customer.
Wal-Mart security was able to escort him out, but not before he threatened them as well.
"They were able to whisk him out of the store, all the while he had pulled a knife out on the loss prevention," said Dougan.
Police arrested Rosen on Falls Boulevard. They say he was carrying a large radio and his hatchet on his hip.
It's a situation that has some customers most concerned for Rosen's mental health.
"You get these people that really need to be under care and they're just throw them out into the streets," said Diane Stewart, a customer.
Rosen is being evaluated at the state psychiatric hospital. Meanwhile he faces a number of charges including assault with a dangerous weapon.
