Seattle police are investigating a man's claims that he sustained grease burns on his face and neck during a fight with a Capitol Hill hot dog vendor.

On August 18th, a man walked into the Southwest Precinct, showed off his burns, and said he'd been attacked by a hot dog vendor the previous Saturday.

The man told police he had stopped by a hot dog stand on Pine and Crawford on Capitol Hill around 12:30am, and purchased a hot dog.

The man told police he gave the vendor a $10 bill to pay for a $5 hot dog, but didn't receive any change. 

The man argued with the vendor, walked off, and came back to "re-address his complaint," the report says. He then swore at the vendor and "spit to the side" of him. "The victim emphasized that he did not spit on the suspect," according to the report.

At some point during the confrontation, the vendor threw a pan of hot grease on the man, burning him.

The man told police he had not been to the hospital for his burns, but had been taking pictures every day to document his injuries. Blech.

The man also provided officers with the name of a friend who witnessed the incident.
