Surveillance video from inside Ming Dynasty showed an off-duty Quincy police officer and three other people become violent and go crazy when a dispute arose over wearing a face mask.
The video shows a 49-year-old woman smashing the front desk of the restaurant over the mask dispute, while attacking the owner.
“She was pushing my husband and smashed my front desk,” restaurant owner Lei Yan said. “It put my husband’s life in danger.”
Accompanying the woman was the off duty cop who also became irate and was using his badge to justify his illegal actions.
Yan said the group came in after midnight and was very drunk. She said the incident started after the restaurant refused to serve them drinks.
“When they came in, they looked very drunk,” Yan stated.
After being refused drinks, the group of drunks then allegedly left their seats to protest Yan’s decision and refused to put on masks.
That’s when the violence started and when the cop protected the offender.
“He just took his police ID, showing our whole bar, our whole restaurant,” restaurant co-owner Jimmy Tian said. “Like, I’m a police officer, I don’t need a mask.”
