Bystanders at a kosher pizza restaurant in Brooklyn apprehended a man who randomly entered the premises and immediately started flipping tables, hurling profanities and chucking salt shakers as well as other table-top condiments at staff and patrons, multiple media sources reported.The altercation, caught on camera, shows the man's random violent outburst within the Bash Pizza pizzeria in Flatbush, Brooklyn.
Some of the patrons responded by running out of the premises in search for help. Others barricaded themselves in the store bathroom, including 10 women, an infant and a pregnant woman. Seconds after the altercation began, a man wearing a black shirt - identified as Jewish by Yeshiva World News - could be seen grabbing a bar stool and throwing it at the man as he was screaming violently at the pizzeria staff, then quickly running out the door.
From there, the rampaging man walks out the front door of the pizza shop and tosses an unknown object in the direction the man in the black shirt ran towards.He is then seen on CCTV walking across the crosswalk before assaulting another pedestrian - also identified as Jewish by YWN - in broad daylight.
The NYPD and Flatbush Shomrim responded immediately after receiving more than a dozen calls, and the suspect was taken into custody. Flatbush Hatzolah was on the scene, and treated the victim who was assaulted.
