A chaotic brawl at an In-N-Out Burger in Arizona sent diners scrambling for safety as several teenagers traded punches in the middle of the dining area.
The disturbance unfolded around 7 p.m. local time Monday at the popular fast-food chain’s Tempe restaurant.
The Tempe Police Department told INC News that officers were called to the location, but those involved in the fight had already left, fleeing both on foot and in vehicles.

Footage recorded inside the restaurant shows a group of teens swinging at one another and tackling each other to the floor while startled customers moved quickly to avoid the violence.
The person who filmed the incident said many customers had been “camping out” inside the In-N-Out at the time because of an active monsoon storm, FOX 10 Phoenix reported.

Investigators spoke with witnesses and staff, and a follow-up investigation is now underway.
The cause of the brawl has not been disclosed, and INC News has reached out to the California-based chain for comment.
The altercation closely mirrors a May brawl that happened inside a Chipotle restaurant in Washington, D.C.
In that incident, teens dressed head-to-toe in black — some wearing hoods and masks — were seen throwing punches and hurling chairs as innocent bystanders sought safety.
