The soldier is now under investigation by the St. Andrew Central Police and the military police.
It was reported that about 12:20 p.m., the JDF Corporal was in the car park when he became embroiled in a dispute with the Azan employee.

He later gave a statement to investigators claiming he was acting in self-defence after the employee reportedly pulled a knife on him.
The soldier, who surrendered to the military police Thursday afternoon at Up Park Camp, is to undergo further questioning.
The Azan employee remains in serious condition.
