An irate customer bashed a Manhattan deli employee with a “wet floor” sign after the worker told him the lotto machine was shut down for the night, new video shows. 

The suspect was inside a deli on Canal Street near Orchard Street in Chinatown around 2:15 a.m. Sunday when the employee turned him away, cops said Thursday night. 

Video shows the would-be gambler heading for the door but then turning back, picking up the yellow sign and bashing the worker over the head with it.
