In the video, Caswell says the sandwich came from a Subway in Syracuse, New York. She says her sandwich was “a little bit different” than other Subway sandwiches and reveals the knife hidden squished between her toppings.

The TikToker says she contacted the restaurant, but they allegedly told her, “I don’t know what you would like us to do about that.” She says she also emailed Subway’s corporate office but hadn’t received a reply at the time she posted the video.

“I’m going to blow this up on TikTok until Subway gets back to me, or I guess the next step will be lawyers because I did actually harm myself,” she says in the video.

As of Thursday, the video’s comments had been turned off. The Daily Dot reached out to Subway via email.
