A chair-throwing, plate-tossing fight at a Montreal restaurant early on Jan. 1 caused as much as $20,000 in damage.
“We have between $10,000 and $20,000 in damage,” an employee with New Dynasty restaurant on Clark St. told The Gazette on Wednesday. “We are OK but we have a lot of damage,” the man, who spoke on condition that he not be named, said.
The fight took place between 3:30 a.m. and 4 a.m. when a group of people was eating at the restaurant, which serves Asian cuisine. It started when two men who were not restaurant patrons walked by and said hello to a friend who was eating there, the man said.
Another patron then stood up on a table and pointed to the passersby and all hell broke loose, the employee said.
“I don’t think they knew each other before. Everyone just started throwing things. One man was cut and fell to the ground. There was a lot of blood on the carpet.” So much blood, in fact, that the restaurant now needs to replace the carpet. The walls and ceilings were damaged and the lighting, too. Many dishes were thrown and broken, he said.
Montreal police Lt. Ian Lafrenière said police arrived shortly before 4 a.m. and two minutes, 45 seconds after being called about the brawl. “When we got there it was over,” he said. The video is of little use to police because neither the restaurant owner nor those who were injured want to press charges, Lafrenière said. “It’s private property and nobody wants to take it further” by pressing charges.
One person was hospitalized and another injured person refused treatment, he said.
The restaurant is still open, however. Repairs are being done as quickly as possible.
I want to know why I'm still getting in trouble for assault when the kid I knocked out supposedly doesn't wanna press charges... Although Quebec is on a totally different legal system.

Typical Quebec shit. Don't want cops involved because they will want kickbacks for "helping out".

Well it didn't get very physical. Mostly throwin' dishes and chairs. In such close proximity I expected fisticuffs
