A video showing an altercation between four suburban men and staff at a Mount Greenwood restaurant early Sunday morning was shown in court to a judge in the case on Wednesday as the four men face charges.
The video, originally posted on social media, shows the melee outside Barraco's restaurant, located in the 3000 block of West 111th Street.
Defense attorney Mike Leonard, who represents one of the four men charged in the fight, described what he saw in the video shown in court.
“You can clearly see three bouncers who follow the kids down the street…and then initiate a full out melee with them with punches being thrown by the bartenders at the heads of the kids including my client," he said.
Leonard said that while his client is facing charges in connection to the fight, he also suffered a brain bruise and concussion during the incident.
Meanwhile, a prayer service was held at St. Barnabus Church as local residents learned that Nick Barraco, the restaurant's owner, was seriously hurt in the altercation. Barraco regularly attends service at St. Barnabus.
