'It’s 2019 and racism still exists, disgusting,' witness Ivan Velasco said.
Tensions spiked inside a Los Angeles sushi restaurant last Sunday when a man hurled racist abuse at customers—and was then repeatedly punched in the head.
In the clip, the man could be seen charging back into the restaurant as customers shouted at him to leave the premises. A woman who had previously been standing close to the door is then seen landing at least five punches to his head—resulting in applause from spectators. Velasco tweeted Monday that he had been at the restaurant for a Mother’s Deal meal. He wrote: “It was going great until a crazy racist white man started trouble and ended calling a black man ‘Monkey Man.’ Thankfully a nearby woman delivers justice. It’s 2019 and racism still exists, disgusting.” He uploaded a second video showing events just before the brawl erupted.In his own recollection, Velasco said he had been seated just 10 minutes before the man entered the restaurant.
“He then continues to complain about them not being seated and... during this time, he’s being extremely rude, disrespectful and using profane language toward the wait staff. At one point calling the hostess a ‘dumb b***h’ for requesting him again to wait.”
