ZWOLLE, Netherlands, Oct. 13 (UPI) -- Police in Zwolle, Netherlands, say a vegetarian was arrested after allegedly assaulting a spring roll vendor for only serving products made with meat.

The suspect allegedly lost his temper after being told by the shopping mall vendor that no vegetarian spring rolls were available. The vegetarian allegedly struck the victim multiple times in the face and head, Radio Netherlands reported Monday without specifying when the attack occurred.

Police said the suspect was detained by a security guard until they arrived to make the arrest.
