The 64-year-old father and friend were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
The Pat’s Kings of Steaks has a plethora of security cameras and the owner told reporters that the video shouldn’t be released to the public due to how violent the brawl was.
“It was just mayhem,” said the owner. “I’m never going to get this vision out of my mind that I watched on the videotape.”
The suspected killers haven’t been caught by police yet, however, the owner says the security footage should be able to help track the four men down.
“They’re all HD,” he said. “Their faces are clear as day. It’s only a matter of time until they’re apprehended.”
