The man, who employees call “Arturo” in the video, is later seen taking off his shirt provoking the woman and her son by saying he’s a “pistolero.”
The woman arms herself with a metal spatula before an employee pulls the assistant manager towards the back of the restaurant while saying, “Arturo, Arturo -- the police is coming."

After authorities put the woman in custody, officers are seen in the video running towards the woman’s son, apprehending the young man on the ground.
