A chaotic brawl erupted inside a Texas burger restaurant, culminating in seven individuals being taken into custody.

The San Antonio Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that officers were dispatched to a Whataburger location in the early hours of October 5, responding to reports of an ongoing assault. Officials stated that the confrontation began due to a disagreement over a mix-up with orders between two groups.

A video, shared by Rebecca Noel and obtained by Fox News Digital, vividly captures the scene. It has amassed over 1,000 shares, showing a woman launching a punch at another woman on the counter, while a man in a gray shirt approaches them. Quickly, several other men jumped into the fray, escalating the altercation.

The footage, filmed by Rebecca Noel, showcases the pandemonium that erupted inside the San Antonio Whataburger on October 5.

As the situation spiraled further out of control, more individuals joined the melee, with punches being thrown from all directions. The man in the gray shirt was violently taken down, as six men attacked him, leaving him curled up on the ground in a fetal position.

Amidst the chaos, at least three bystanders were seen capturing the incident on their phones. One woman attempted to intervene, shouting, “Stop. What the f— is wrong with y’all?” She proceeded to call the authorities, who arrived promptly to disperse the crowd and restore order.

The SAPD said that no major injuries were reported at the scene and all seven suspects were booked for assault causing bodily injury.

Noel wrote that the families involved will be pressing charges against the individuals, and they “will not stop until justice is served!!!” Fox News Digital has reached out to Noel for comment. 

“Instead of the staff acknowledging their error, they reportedly told the other customers, ‘They have your food,’” wrote Noel. “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.”

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Whataburger’s media relations team said: “At Whataburger, the safety of our Guests and employees is our top priority. We are cooperating fully with the authorities.”

The SAPD said that this is an active investigation.
