Footage Reveals New Details in Tourist Melee at N.Y.C. Restaurant

[PoliticAverse]

11. It appears that 3 men arrived later to join the already seated women, but only one of the 3

had a vaccination card so the other 2 weren't permitted to join the women. This apparently resulted in the women leaving when words were apparently exchanged between them and the hostess leading to the "melee".

The altercation began after two men who joined their party several minutes later were unable to provide proof, the lawyers for both sides said.

...

In the footage, after the two men were denied entry, a server, wearing a white apron, comes out and talks to the hostess, making hand gestures as if explaining something. Then, footage shows the party of six leaving the restaurant. The hostess leans forward and says something, and the server pulls her back with her arms around her shoulder and gives it a tap, possibly to prevent her from engaging with them.
