A violent brawl inside a Texas Whataburger restaurant over an order mix-up has led to the arrests of seven people.
Remarkable footage captured at a San Antonio fast food establishment located on the 14600 block of Blanco Road near West Bitters Road around 3 a.m. last Sunday revealed patrons engaged in a heated argument before it escalated into a full-fledged brawl.
Rebecca Noel explained on Facebook that ‘part of another table’s order was mistakenly brought to’ her son Keilin and his friends.
The Whataburger staff had ‘reportedly’ told the other customers that Noel’s group had their food, she claimed.
Noel mentioned: ‘Shortly after, those individuals confronted my son and his companions, and in moments, the situation intensified dramatically from a minor dispute to a violent assault.’
The video showed one man in light blue jeans and a gray shirt hit another man in the face, leaving him sprawled across a restaurant table.
Moments later, another man in an orange shirt and sneakers was caught unloading punches on a separate person prone on the ground.

Terrified screams were heard in the background as the fight continued.
‘Calm down, calm down, calm down,’ one person was heard saying mid-chaos.
‘Please calm down.’
The pleas did nothing to stop the violence.
The footage continued with three girls on the establishment’s floor, throwing punches and kicks at one another.
A separate girl was heard screaming: ‘Stop! What the f**k is wrong with y’all?’
Another voice threatened to call the police.
A Whataburger employee who was off-duty when he jumped into a brawl was fired, the San Antonio Express-News reported.
San Antonio police made seven arrests upon their arrival at the location: Andres Garcia Cardenas, 21; Tyrone Tolliver, 21; Miguel Torres, 57; Meili Torres, 21; Andrew Lopez, 21; Deontae Tolliver, 23; and Veronica Valdez, 53.

Rachel Mosler Wariner, identifying herself as Keilin’s aunt, noted that the ‘most disturbing aspect’ of the incident was that her nephew ‘was simply attempting to break up a fight between females.’
She commented: ‘Being a man who was raised right knows it wasn’t right for that to happen! And they jumped him for trying to help the females.
‘I am disgusted and appalled at the animal like behavior of these grown men.
‘And the unfortunate young man who was knocked down, hit his head on the table, and then was punched in the face when he tried to get up is utterly appalling!
‘They will see their day.’
According to CBS Austin, one of the teenagers involved in the altercation sustained a concussion, 40 cuts, a bite wound, a broken wrist, and injuries to the kidneys, liver, and ribs.

Noel’s post attached photos of the suspects, as well as of the aftermath of the fight with the police at the scene and the Whataburger’s blood-spattered floor.
They were charged with assault causing bodily injury and taken to Bexar County Jail, according to CBS Austin.
SAPD said a 20-year-old man and woman, plus an 18-year-old man and woman, were considered victims.
The seven suspects were released the following morning, per MySA.
Noel wrote: ‘There is absolutely no excuse for what happened. This never should have escalated to this point.
‘Any business that employs or is affiliated with these individuals should be held accountable and made aware of who they have representing them.
‘The community deserves to know who these people are before doing business with them.’
The Daily Mail reached out to Noel, her family’s lawyer Roger Perez and the San Antonio Police Department for further comment.
