The worker claims the man was drunk and refused to pay his bill as he left a sauna, so she took decisive action.
The woman, known only as Yulia, was caught on CCTV fighting with the man who she said sobered up pretty quickly.
Yulia said: "Instead of paying, this man threw the business cards of the sauna in my face and pushed me, refusing to pay.
"After that I could hardly control my behaviour."
She said the man had been in the sauna with a group of men and women and had been drinking.
Yulia told Central European News: "When their time was up I went to them and told them to pay. This man refused so I tried calling the police."
Yulia recalls the drunken man grabbing her mobile phone out of her hands, throwing the business cards and pushing her away.
She added: "I was angry. This is why I threw the hot water from the kettle in his face.
"In addition to that I hit his head with the kettle.
