after giving "unwanted and unsolicited attention" to the waitress, police said.</span></div></div><div class="block-content"><div class="styles__Container-sc-1ylecsg-0 goULFa"><span>About three hours later, he allegedly returned with a large carving knife and attacked the woman as dozens of people were dining.</span></div></div><div class="block-content"><div class="styles__Container-sc-1ylecsg-0

helped her, police said.</span></div></div><div class="block-content"><div class="styles__Container-sc-1ylecsg-0 goULFa"><span>"Unfortunately the interactions of the chef only slowed the offender's
