The food fracas took place at the Westfield Trumbull Mall at around 4.30pm on Wednesday and was caught on video, which has been making its rounds on social media.

The video shows a man and a woman hurling treys and napkins and others items at staff working at Sarku Japan restaurant situated in the mall food court.

The woman, dressed in light-colored skinny jeans tucked into black boots, walks over the other side of the counter and proceeds to throw additional things at the workers.

With the help of her companions, she then scales the service counter and lunges at one of the workers, delivering several ferocious blows before a mall security guard intervenes,

A second video that has been uploaded to Twitter shows a uniformed security guard pinning down one of the suspects laying on the floor.

According to the Trumbull Police Department, the altercation was sparked by a complaint from Sarku diner Hilary Nolasco-Delobre, 18, of Bridgeport, who was not satisfied with the size of the portion she had received.

A verbal dispute ensued, resulting in Nolasco-Delobre jumping over the counter and attacking the employee, according to police. 

As fists were flying, police say Davon Myles 26, and other members of the group began throwing food and napkin containers around, causing $1,100 in damage and lost revenue to the eatery.

The employee allegedly targeted by Nolasco-Delobre suffered minor injuries during the melee. 

Both Nolasco-Delobre and Myles were charged with second-degree breach of peace and released on a promise to appear. 

Nolasco-Delobre is scheduled to appear in court on January 24, and Myles is due before a judge on January 22. 

The pair told News 12 Connecticut that not is all as it seems from the video, and that Sarku employees threw food and containers at them first.
