• The Laconia (New Hampshire) Daily Sun reported that police were called to the Market Basket supermarket in Tilton the day before after a "fruity fracas" broke out in the produce section.
Social media posts indicated that a watermelon had been used in an assault, and Sgt. Andrew Salmon of the Tilton Police Department confirmed that his department is investigating.
Salmon said one person went to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries "from being struck by a produce item."
A worker who answered the phone at the Market Basket said, "We have been instructed not to say anything." [Laconia Daily Sun, 1/5/2024]
