Isabelle Lassiter’s husband James called police after the chef squirted her with water from a small plastic toy of a boy with his trousers down.

Ms Lassiter told Cleveland19.com: “It really didn’t have a wiener, but you got the point.”

The toy is used by chefs to control flames on the hibachi cooker, but it is also part of the show patrons are treated to at dinner.

Tennessee cops have filed a report about the incident after Mr Lassiter’s complaint, but no arrests have been made.

The restaurant owners have said the “pee pee boy” will only make appearances by request from now on.
