HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) — A video showing a brawl inside the Denny’s Restaurant on West Mercury Boulevard in Hampton, Virginia has already been shared over 2,000 times on Facebook.
Hampton police said the fight broke out inside the Denny’s around 2:30 a.m. Thursday.
The video posted on Facebook starts with one man, punching another on the ground. A woman tries to break it apart, but the scuffle heads to the back booths and kitchen area. At one point, a man actually rips his shirt off and pushes the other fighters toward the door.
More people get involved and try to break it up. The shirtless man starts cursing and knocks over a soda display. According to police, the fight then moved out to the parking lot.
WISH-TV’s sister station WAVY talked to a woman who did not want to be identified. She said she was eating inside the restaurant and that the video does not show how it all started.
“One of the guys had an issue with how packed it was getting and the fact that he hasn’t been served, so he made a big commotion. The commotion was toward the waitress, calling her out, her name, calling her, just being rude and disrespectful,” she said.
She said the customer went around the counter and was starting a fight with a male employee.
“The employee didn’t do anything, other than calm him down and he was being, I mean, really respectful. There was no need for all that commotion to have started…[The customer] ends up putting his hands on the worker which causes the initial fight,” she said.
When officers responded to the scene, they arrested 29-year-old Mario Wright from Newport News for allegedly assaulting an officer in the parking lot as he tried to break up the fight. They also arrested 31-year-old Albert Johnson from Newport News for public intoxication.
Staff members at Denny’s said they could not comment on the fight. A message for Denny’s corporate media department was not returned Friday.
Police said a “verbally abusive group” was inside the restaurant and that the fight did not appear to be motivated by any one reason.
One employee was hurt, but will recover, said police. The officer that was assaulted during this incident was not injured.
Officers say they expect to press more charges in this case.

I didn’t need to see the video, but I did anyway. Party time for street savages.
Two family reunions. One woman calls another “ghetto bitch”. It’s on. That’s why there are no Ryan’s in St. Louis anymore.
Anybody remember a Dennys - like
restaurant chain called Sambo’s?
I remember them in California. Man,
were they politically incorrect!
And no confederate flag in sight to blame it on
LOL
West Mercury Boulevard ...
Lol, i like how the fight speads like a virus.
Nothing to see here - a chimpout evolving into a bongo party, just more TNB.
The name came from the founders Sam Battistone, Sr. and Newell Bohnett
But Political Correctness in the NE destroyed the name in the 70's.
Only one left in Santa Barbara
Too bad... I used to eat at that Denny’s from time to time while assigned at Langley AFB.
Now it’s just another venue for the Blackistan fight club.
A fight at Denny’s?
Who knew?

Denny’s was Sambos. They changed the name.
Why can’t some people learn how to hold a phone to get full screen picts and vids?
Then attach similar numerical values to whites getting murdered, raped and robbed by blacks. Reverse discrimination where qualified whites can't get jobs because of minority hiring quotas. Things like this.
Add the numbers up and I'd bet we're worse off, as a society, now, more so than in the 50s. Then again, I've never been much good at math.
Two completely different restaurant chains. In the late 1970s, the Sambo’s name was changed to “Family Sam’s” before disappearing from the scene.
Did he dance with an overbite? That’s the only way to be sure.
...
LOL. I had to look that up.
