Up in his grill! Moment brawl breaks out in Atlanta Waffle House when customer takes a swing at employee as he's kicked out
Cell phone footage shows the moment a violent brawl broke out at a Waffle House in Atlanta after a customer who was getting kicked out took a swing at an employee.
In the video, a group of several women are seen arguing with a man in an orange shirt sitting at the counter of the restaurant.
One of the women appears to be trying to diffuse the situation and stands in between another woman and the man but continues to argue with them.
As things continue to heat up, a Waffle House employee comes over to the counter and aggressively grabs the man by his shirt and begins to drag him towards the door.
The customer tries to resist but loses his footing. As he regains his balance in the doorway he turns around and punches the worker in the face.
