In the early hours of Saturday morning, a tumultuous scene unfolded at a Domino’s Pizza in Glassboro, New Jersey, where a late-night altercation spiraled into chaos, culminating in an alleged assault on a police officer. The incident, which occurred shortly before 3 a.m., drew Glassboro police to the location following reports of a large brawl inside the restaurant.

Upon arrival, officers encountered a scene of disorder as they attempted to manage the situation and make arrests. In the midst of the turmoil, two men reportedly picked up a chair and launched it at an officer, hitting him on the back of the head. The suspects, described by police as “extremely hysterical,” fled the scene immediately after the incident.

Surveillance video from inside the Domino’s captured the mayhem, showing patrons donning Halloween accessories, some precariously standing atop tables and chairs, while others documented the escalating tensions on their phones. Amidst the uproar, two individuals were caught on camera grabbing a red chair and violently tossing it out of view, a moment that further fueled the pandemonium before onlookers began to disperse.

The Glassboro Police Department, responding to the chaos at approximately 2:44 a.m., detailed the situation in a statement, noting the scale of the disturbance within the store. The authorities have since released images of the two suspects involved in the chair-throwing incident, seeking assistance from the public in identifying and apprehending them.
