A CHIP shop manager has been barred from his premises for allegedly throwing hot oil over a customer.

Yuksel Hacipasaoglu from The Chippy in Bournemouth town centre was arrested on suspicion of inflicting grievous bodily harm in the early hours of Saturday.

Police used their powers to request an urgent review of the shop’s licence and he was given an interim ban by the borough’s licensing sub-committee yesterday morning. The shop, in Old Christchurch Road, was also given an interim ban, from selling food between 11pm and 4am.

Sgt Derek McKerl from Dorset Police said in a written statement to the council: “A male who identified himself as ... Mr Yuksel Hacipasaoglu, threw hot oil at a male, causing serious injuries. A member of staff was also injured by the oil but sustained minor injuries.

“The male was part of a group who had been causing problems in the premises, throwing signs, and it is alleged that the injured male assaulted Mr Hacipasaoglu.”

The report adds that the case is being investigated as GBH.

After the hearing, a Dorset Police spokesman told the Echo that officers were called at 1.46am and that a man was taken to Bournemouth Hospital suffering from blistering caused by hot oil.

They said four people were arrested – a 29-year-old from Kent for affray, a 29-year-old from Erith for affray, a 28-year-old from Oxford for provocation of violence and a 45-year-old from Bournemouth for GBH.

The banning notice was due to be served yesterday afternoon. Mr Hacipasagolu declined to comment, and had a black eye. Another shop worker had pink and peeling skin around an eye and cheek.

The premises licence holder Pauline Barnes, who is Mr Hacipasaoglu’s wife, said: “We have no comment as to the incident. We feel the licensing sub-committee have jumped the gun somewhat. We would like to put our position over when we speak to the licensing committee.”

The shop has 48 hours to appeal. A full licensing committee meeting to consider the incident must be held within 28 days.
