GLASSBORO, N.J. — A late-night brawl inside a Domino’s Pizza in Glassboro spiraled into chaos over the weekend, ending with two men accused of assaulting a police officer, according to local authorities.
Police say the disturbance broke out just before 3 a.m. Saturday when officers responded to reports of a large fight inside the pizza shop. As officers attempted to restore order and make arrests, two suspects allegedly picked up a chair and hurled it at one of the responding officers, striking him in the back of the head.
The men, described by police as “extremely hysterical,” then fled the scene.
Surveillance footage from inside the restaurant captured the mayhem — Halloween revelers shouting, people climbing on tables and chairs, and others filming the melee on their phones. In the video, two men can be seen grabbing a red chair and throwing it before dashing off as the crowd scattered.
“At approximately 2:44 a.m., officers responded to Domino’s Pizza for a large fight that erupted inside the store,” the Glassboro Police Department said in a statement. “While officers were making multiple arrests, two males picked up a chair and threw it at our officers, striking one of them in the back of the head. Not only was this intentional, they found it extremely hysterical while they ran from the scene.”
Authorities released images of the suspects — one wearing a gray jacket and another in a light blue sweatshirt — and are asking for the public’s help in identifying them.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Glassboro Police Department by texting “GLASSPD” to 847411, calling 856-881-1500, or emailing Detective Aitken at saitken@glassboropd.org.
