It happened last weekend in the early morning hours, around 1:30 a.m. Witnesses say a couple was in a very long argument when staff members tried to de-escalate the situation.

Viral videos show a group that includes a woman with green hair, a waitress, and several men. The video shows lots of yelling, pushing, and shoving. At one point, a staff member was seen with a chair over his head.

Witnesses described the scene as "total chaos." Police arrived on the scene. No injuries or arrests have been announced.

As of this writing, the police and the diner have yet to return our requests for comments.
