Seven people were arrested and charged with assault causing bodily injuries, cops confirmed to the outlet. Arrested were Andres Garcia Cardenas, 21, Tyrone Tolliver, 21, Miguel Torres, 57, Meili Torres, 21, Andrew Lopez, 21, Deontae Tolliver, 23, and Veronica Valdez, 53, authorities said.

The video was posted by one of the victim's mothers, Rebecca Noel, on Facebook. She wrote on her post, "Part of another table’s order was mistakenly brought to my son and his friends. Instead of the staff acknowledging their error, they reportedly told the other customers." Noel added, "Moments later, those individuals confronted my son and his friends, and within seconds, the situation escalated far beyond a simple misunderstanding — to a violent assault."
