A man clings to a car hood in a viral video from Sweet Shop at FSU, sparking a police investigation.

On a sunny afternoon in Tallahassee, a bizarre and dramatic incident unfolded, leaving bystanders in shock and disbelief. The tranquil atmosphere surrounding the Florida State University's staple café, the Sweet Shop, was shattered by a series of events that seemed to be straight out of an action movie.
The Unfolding Drama
As the last week progressed, the internet was set abuzz by a video posted on Barstool FSU's social media pages, capturing a white sedan speeding out of the café's parking lot onto West Jefferson Street. What made this spectacle truly jaw-dropping was the sight of a man clinging to the hood of the car for dear life. The video ended with the car making a sudden right turn onto a side street, leaving viewers in suspense and disbelief.
Among the thousands who were taken aback by the viral video, some witnesses came forward with accounts of the events that led to the extraordinary scene. One eyewitness, amidst a flurry of comical comments, shared a rather perplexing trigger for the episode. According to the account, the driver of the car was incensed over his underfilled Nutella croissant and a delayed frappe.
The escalation of the situation was described as the man snatching his order and dashing out of the café. The café's staff, particularly the "Sweet Shop guy," swiftly pursued the disgruntled customer, with reported exchanges of unpleasant language. This pursuit culminated in the astonishing image of the Sweet Shop's owner defiantly perched on the hood of the fleeing customer's car, propelling the altercation into the realm of the surreal.
Police Official Response
In response to the viral video, the Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) issued a statement indicating that the depicted incident forms part of an ongoing investigation. According to a TPD spokesperson, the authorities were summoned to the café on the afternoon of June 24 following a report of a physical altercation. The altercation reportedly stemmed from the suspect's theft of a tip jar, which then escalated into a confrontation with the café's staff, resulting in a physical altercation and the suspect's subsequent flight from the scene.
