The 21-year-old deli workerInstagramPolice have identified a person of interest accused of hurling an avocado at a deli worker — and breaking his jaw with the flying fruit, officials said.
Cops have not identified the fruit-flinger, but he is believed to be one of the two men who lobbed a barrage of bananas and avocados at a 21-year-old bodega clerk inside Stadium Gourmet Deli near Yankee Stadium last month.
The man is not in police custody.
The goons launched their attack after getting into an argument with the worker over their food order around 4:45 p.m. May 29, cops said.
The victim was taken to Lincoln Hospital and had to get oral surgery last week to fix his broken jaw, hospital sources told The Post.
