SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Dunkin Donuts employees involved in dumping water on a homeless man in New York have reportedly been fired.

The Associated Press reports the employees involved have been fired from the company. A video of the incident has gone viral after being shared on Facebook showing a homeless man sitting at a table and water being dumped on the back of his head.

In the video, the others involved are laughing as the man gets up and shakes water off his clothing, phone, and charger. The Associated Press reports the man was identified as Jeremy Dufresne, who says he was at the Dunkin Donuts to charge his phone to call his mom.

A Go Fund Me page has been set up where so far, $13,835 have been raised.
