WASHINGTON — A brawl broke out at the Chick-Fil-A on Wisconsin Avenue in Tenleytown Tuesday night, resulting in the manager being fired and a man getting arrested.

According to police, a 55-year-old man started shouting and went behind the counter of the restaurant, where one employee told him to leave. Fists flew and a brawl was ignited in one of the booths. Other employees were able to step in and break up the fight.

The incident was caught on video, which has gone viral.

The customer, who is being charged with simple assault, was taken to a hospital and was treated for minor injuries.

In a statement, Chick-Fil-A said: “Our franchise restaurant operators and their team members strive to create a safe and welcoming environment and to treat all guests with dignity and respect.
