This is exactly what some restaurant owners feared when enforcement of the city’s vaccine mandate took effect Monday.
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Tourists from Texas attacked a hostess at a popular New York City restaurant after police say they were asked to show proof of vaccination. It happened Thursday evening at Carmine’s on the Upper West Side. Now, three people are facing charges. As WCBS-TV’s Natalie Duddridge reports, this is exactly what some restaurant owners feared when enforcement of the city’s vaccine mandate took effect Monday. Staff expected to face pushback and hostility from unvaccinated customers, but not a full-blown assault like this. Cellphone video shows several women involved in a scuffle that almost knocks over the hostess booth at Broadway and West 90th Street.
