Nothing is more infuriating than seeing reckless violence unfold in front of innocent children. What should have been a peaceful Saturday night dinner turned into a chaotic scene at a Texas Roadhouse after a violent brawl broke out in the middle of the dining area.
The Incident
Just after 10 p.m. on June 7, Avon police and Hendricks County deputies were called to the Texas Roadhouse in response to reports of a large physical altercation. By the time officers arrived at the scene, multiple victims were injured, and the primary aggressors had fled the area.
A witness-captured video quickly spread online, showing the intensity of the brawl. Tables were overturned, people were screaming, and fists were flying in the middle of the crowded restaurant. This all took place just feet away from a mother who was desperately shielding her young child from the violence.
Investigation and Public Safety
While the cause of the brawl remains unclear, the Avon Police Department clarified that no one was stabbed, and no firearms were discharged during the altercation. As rumors quickly spread on social media, the police worked to set the record straight, emphasizing that there were no major weapons involved in the fight.
The department acknowledged the gravity of the incident, stating that “incidents of this magnitude are certainly not a regular occurrence in our community.” They also praised officers and emergency responders for acting swiftly and effectively to control the situation.
Request for Public Help
Authorities are now asking for the public’s assistance in identifying those who fled the scene. Anyone with information can call Avon Police at 317-272-4486 or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at 317-262-TIPS.
Local Reaction
While fights at restaurants are unfortunately not unheard of, the scale of this incident—captured on video and quickly spreading online—has left many locals shaken. The fact that it occurred in a family-oriented environment, with children in close proximity to the violence, has only added to the community’s shock.
As the investigation continues, authorities hope that the public’s help will bring those responsible to justice, ensuring that such a violent and traumatic event doesn’t happen again.
