Police: Man Punches Friend for Refusing Ramen Noodles

Police say a central Pennsylvania man beat his friend for refusing to eat some ramen noodles.

Brecknock Township police say 23-year-old Brian Douglas Hunter had cooked the noodles about 11:30 p.m. Thursday and became angry when his 20-year-old friend refused to eat them.

Police say Hunter punched the other man in the right eye 10 to 15 times. Police in the Berks County community say the victim had bruises, swelling and a 1-inch cut under his eye.

Online court records don't list an attorney or arraignment information for Hunter. Police say he's being charged with simple assault and harassment.
