In a three-minute video posted to X, Bissonnette said the altercation took place inside and outside of Houston’s restaurant after he observed a group of guests cause issues with the restaurant manager. The 39-year-old Bissonnette said he is a regular diner at the establishment and attempted to intervene after a member of the group laid his hands on the manager.
“You could tell he was a little shocked and surprised and stunned,” said Bissonnette. “It’s a family restaurant. I don’t think there was anybody in there who could go maybe like help him out. I went over, I just grabbed the guy’s arm that was on him. I said, ‘Sir, if you continue to harass and assault the staff, we’re going to have problems.’
“And then they just started chucking, so it escalated extremely quickly.”
Bissonnette said he fought with seven people in total. Six of those men were arrested and are accused of assault and disorderly conduct, according to Fox 10 Phoenix.
