Police were called to a Little Rock Arkansas restaurant after customers brawled over social distancing and coughing.
It happened at Saltgrass Steakhouse at 10 Anglers Way. A woman said she and her boyfriend were sitting at the bar when they told a man nearby, he was sitting too close to them, according to a police report. They told the man to stay 6 feet away, in compliance with social distancing guidelines.
Witnesses said the man, identified as a 56-year-old Louisiana resident, instead moved closer to the couple, according to the report. A witness said the woman then coughed on the man. But the woman, a 42-year-old Little Rock resident, told police the man and his companions had actually coughed on her. She also told police the man from Louisiana and his companions had been using racial slurs.
Officers reviewed surveillance footage of the incident. At some point, the Louisiana man reached toward the Little Rock woman's boyfriend. Her boyfriend then hit the Louisiana man over the head with a bottle. Police said it became a "melee" afterward and it was difficult to tell what was happening.
