A customer was captured on surveillance footage physically attacking the nephew of a Thai restaurant owner in Berkeley, California after he was reportedly denied free food.
The incident occurred around 5:15 p.m. on Nov. 9.
The nephew was allegedly attacked after he tried speaking with the customer to see what the problem was, according to ABC7.
In the now-viral video, the customer can be seen near the bottom of the screen kicking and flipping the nephew over a table before he kicks him in the stomach when he falls to the ground.
The perpetrator then runs toward the exit, but witnesses in the restaurant acted swiftly to stop him from leaving.
An owner of the small family-run restaurant, Sarah told me the susp said he did what he did b/c of a death in the family.
Sarah says this has never happened in the decades of being in business & feels like #StopAsianHate.
She’s grateful for the men who helped save the day! pic.twitter.com/lL4XvYDqFJ
