A customer at a McDonald's in Tennessee has been arrested on assault charges after he allegedly burned an employee on Thursday morning with hot coffee because it was too watery, police say.

After purchasing a coffee at a Nashville McDonald's on Broadway near Interstate 40, Charles Prince reportedly determined that his cup of joe was too watery and simply not strong enough.

Upset over the situation, a witness told police that Prince purposefully knocked over the large cup of coffee and spilled it over the counter. The hot liquid subsequently poured on a female employee's arm, who had visible burn marks in the process.

He was booked into the Nashville Metro jail on Thursday but has since been released on a $1,500 bond.
