Another video heard a witness saying that a group of pro-Palestinian supporters were in a car before getting out near the restaurant.
"A group of Palestinians, about 30 of them, jumped out of a car and asked who was Jewish," the person said.
"Two guys said they were and they proceeded to beat them up."

A New Yorker told Fox News: "Stop telling me this is about Israel and Gaza.
"My people are being targeted across the United States in broad daylight.
"This is textbook anti-Semitism, and we will continue to live in danger until the public starts to recognize it for what it is."
Another one added: "Someone with their back to us heard us speak Hebrew. … He immediately looked at us and then went into the crowd.
"I didn't put too much thought into it but around 10 seconds later, he and another 10 people were charging towards us.
"I got the first punch then we realized that we're being attacked."
A synagogue in Skokie was vandalized on Sunday as a "Free Palestine" poster was placed on the door of The Persian Hebrew Congregation.
"It’s a really scary time to be outwardly Jewish," Dina Shiner, who grew up attending the synagogue, told the outlet.
"This is Skokie. It’s a heavily Jewish town. What’s bothering me is that everyone is saying, ‘Oh, this is just about Israeli and Palestine, it’s not about Jews.'
"No, they’re targeting synagogues. That’s a direct target on Jews. This has nothing to do with Israel," she said.
