We found this video of a violent altercation that took place at Blockheads burritos in Murray Hill, though it's tough to tell what's going on. A Blockheads manager told us it took place on Thursday, but that she could not release any details about the fight, as an investigation is pending. There's a lot of background noise at the beginning of the fight, but at 1:13 punches and chairs start flying as one fighter yells,"What's happening, nigger?" At one point it looks as if someone is wielding a bike chain, and the whole thing ends in furniture and burrito debris scattered all over the street. But the inconvenienced diners are at least nice enough to help pick up the mess!
One YouTube commenter calls it, "Not a brawl dude, just a bunch of cowards throwing stuff at each other."
