A late-night snack run led to an all-out brawl at a Brooklyn pizza shop.
One man was hurt in the wild incident while another faces charges, CBS2’s Natalie Duddridge reported Monday.
This was no pizza party. Cellphone video shows the brawl inside Joe’s Pizza on Bedford Avenue near North Fifth Street in Williamsburg.
It happened around 3 a.m. on July 17, according to police.
At least six men got into an argument that escalated. Multiple punches were thrown, one man hit another with a pizza paddle.
“Oh my God, that’s horrible,” one person said after watching the video. “I would try to deescalate, but it seems like everyone is throwing hands everywhere.”
Staff members told police some customers were harassing women and complaining the food was taking too long.
That’s when Ronnie Kabbani says he took out his cellphone and recorded the video.
“The guys in the back were like, ‘Please stay behind the counter,’ and then they came, they rushed them,” Kabbani said. “Not really sure who threw the first punch… It was complete mayhem. It was like a Looney Tunes cartoon.”
Police said a staff member when to the hospital with minor injuries to his face.
A customer was arrested and charged with assault. Officers said they are not searching for any other suspects.
“You’re just trying to get some pizza, you’re hungry, trying to find some food at the end of the night and then… I felt like I was at the Colosseum in Rome,” Kabbani said.
Witnesses said no one ever did get their pizza.
That’s exactly where I went, too.
“I am picturing the Cafeteria fight scene in Blazing Saddles.”
I’m working for Mel Brooks.
Everyone I have ever known from Brooklyn have always been ready to fight at the drop of a hat.
Perhaps you should see if you can summon him, he’s probably appreciate a thread like this...
Yup. Looks like a bunch of drunken white guys.
The last time I saw him was on a prayer thread, and he was quite ill.
Thanks for the info.
Everyone seems so happy in Brooklyn.
I have been wondering the same thing lately.
He used to post all of the time and it seems that he has vanished...
I figured it was White guys. The odds were even and there was no gunfire.
He’s okay, he just isn’t posting right now.
Yeah, I saw that he posted a couple of items recently expressing his displeasure with the current situation. I don’t disagree with his feelings on the matter, but I don’t think that taking your ball and going home is the answer.
It’s not like I know what the ‘answer’ is anyway. And I wouldn’t care to speculate about it online anyway.
Either way, best wishes to you, and to him, if he should ever see this.
A real brouhaha. Probably involved the tip jar.
I did a Seach for dp065 and “Could not find anyone by that name” name turned up
That’s bad news
Is that for sure the correct name?
The ladle smacks were my favorite part.
The only people sending the thread down those “Amish” paths are you two lamenting something that wasn’t even happening.
