Texas Hooters attacked by youths, allegedly over candy bars
UPDATE
13:17 PT – Plano PD tells TMZ … witnesses say this group of guys were selling chocolate in the Hooters parking lot and when they were approached by a manager and asked to leave – things allegedly turned violent. We’re told a couple of them attacked the manager, leaving him with a broken arm, and at that point … spilled things inside, where a customer was also injured.
UPDATE
PPD says they are investigating this as a case of aggravated assault … but so far no arrests have been made. They will look at this video as part of the evidence.
A Hooters in Texas came under intense attack this week — with a group of youths going berserk on the establishment and their customers … supposedly over some candy.
Video of the altercation first surfaced Thursday — when the incident appears to have happened — but started making the rounds this weekend … and the footage is absolutely wild. You see a bunch of young guys, some of whom are shirtless, losing their minds.
They beat up what appear to be patrons in the vestibule of the restaurant…wailing at one guy in particular who falls to his knees. Some of the employees – including at least one Hooters girl – also seem to get caught up in the action … with complete chaos unfolding.
A person filming says something to the effect of… “all over the chocolate,” and you even see a bar of chocolate on the ground at one point. Well, as it turns out — that’s exactly what allegedly sparked the whole thing … according to a Hooters manager who spoke to TMZ.
We’re told these guys are door-to-door salesmen, and they came around that night trying to get their wares, only to be turned away due to a policy that Hooters didn’t request — which apparently is which set them in motion.
No further details were provided, but the Hooters manager says they have resumed operations and a criminal investigation is ongoing.
We’ve reached out to local authorities, including Plano PD, to see if anything else came of this…so far, no word back.
