Police are looking for plate-slinging patron after a brawl broke out at a Chinatown restaurant over the weekend.
The fight — caught on video and uploaded to YouTube — apparently started over seating space at the crowded Pho Xe Lua, a Vietnamese eatery at Spadina Ave. and Dundas St., around 3:30 a.m. Saturday.

At least a half-dozen patrons, some dressed in Halloween costumes, were involved in the tussle. A plate was launched into the air and a restaurant employee was struck in the head.
“During the altercation, a woman in her 20s was struck in the face and sustained injuries which required medical attention.” Toronto Police said in a release.

The profanity-laced video has gone viral and had more than 250,000 pageviews Monday morning.

The suspect is described as an Asian male, between 20 and 25 years old. He stands roughly 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-9 and has a muscular build with multi-coloured tattoos on his left bicep. He was clean-shaven, with short black hair, which was shaved on both sides.

He was wearing a “SWAT” costume vest with holster, tight black v-neck T-shirt and black pants.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-1400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), online at 222tips.com or by texting TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637).

No respect for women !

If I am her brother or husband, will find the prick and show deal with him with my own hands.

 

[HOF]

That was caused by a bait and switch of the meals! He ordered chicken balls and got cat balls instead.

What a bunch of dumb bastards.

Is this supposed to be funny?

Cat meat is no laughing matter.



I used to go to Xe Lua all the time. Either there or Gold Stone(?) a few doors away. Good times.

It's a smartass sarcastic remark and if it offends you that's on you, don't take everything so literal.

Oh God tell me is pulling a fast one over us.

 

[TINY]

A man that will never amount to anything during his lifetime.

 

[jumpingjackflash]

He wears a swat shirt with short sleeves and thinks he's Rambo, a plate throwing chicken shit Rambo

 

[Wazzap]

I wonder if his friends told him he was a jerk to do that and hope he learned a lesson how not to treat women.

Oh shitt! I eat at that place occasionally. Great pho and spring roll(best in Toronto..nice and thick).
tHE guy who threw the plate at the female "mediator"is a total loser and coward. Personally he s just another lame dickwit!
Poor girl who was trying to stop a fight. FOr her reward, she got hit in a face with a place thrown by the same lame dickwit! I wonder why kind of injurires she sustained from it.

This is why today's many people refuse to get involved when there's a fight between 2 or more people. ANyone can get hurt including the innocent bystanders who became curious regarding the conflict.

 

[peace]

THere is another xe lua that is more quiet and friendly and its on broadview and gerrard.

A display of a situation that was allowed to escalate and no where to be seen a Police officer being called in. If the manager of the restaurant did not call 911 they should be held responsible.
