"She didn't get her ketchup or enough ketchup, so she takes it upon herself to go through the employee entrance and confronts the manager and the manager says, 'Hey, you have to go outside,' and then the beating erupted," Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said last month.
Gallo is accused of kicking, punching and choking the employee at the fast-food restaurant.
"After doing the story with numerous media outlets, detectives received numerous tips leading them to the identity and location of the suspect wanted in this assault," the Police Department said in a statement.
