San Antonio, TX — A late-night fast food stop turned into a scene of chaos when a brawl broke out at a Whataburger in San Antonio, allegedly sparked by a mix-up in food orders. The altercation, which was caught on video and quickly went viral on social media, led to seven people being arrested on assault charges, according to local authorities.
Witnesses say tensions flared after an incorrect order was given to a group of customers around 1:30 a.m. Thursday morning. The verbal dispute quickly escalated into a full-blown fight involving punches, thrown trays, and overturned chairs.
“It was wild. People were yelling, food was flying — it looked like a wrestling match,” said one customer who filmed part of the incident on their phone. “The workers were trying to break it up, but it got out of control fast.”
San Antonio Police confirmed that none of the injuries were life-threatening, though several individuals sustained bruises and minor cuts. The arrested individuals face charges ranging from misdemeanor assault to disorderly conduct.
Whataburger released a statement condemning the violence and assuring customers that safety is a top priority:
“We are aware of the incident at our San Antonio location and are cooperating fully with authorities. This type of behavior is unacceptable and does not reflect our values.”
The viral video of the fight has already racked up thousands of views, sparking a mix of concern, outrage, and memes online. Police are reviewing additional footage to determine if more individuals will be charged.
