America is becoming a violent hellscape. If I had any means of relocating - and one really does have to be reasonably wealthy to expatriate these days - I'd leave this rotten country so fast right now. This is so far beyond the pale. NBC News -  

Three people were arrested for allegedly assaulting a New York City restaurant hostess on Thursday after she asked a group of diners visiting from Texas to show proof they had been vaccinated before seating them. 

Cellphone footage obtained by NBC New York shows a brawl involving several people outside Carmine's Italian restaurant on the Upper West Side. Staff and bystanders intervened to break up the melee after it broke out around 5 p.m. ET, the station added. 

The hostess, who has not been identified, was repeatedly punched and her necklace broken, police said. 

One unspecified patient was taken to the Mount Sinai Hospital, the New York City Fire Department said, without stating their condition. 

The three suspects, whose ages are 21, 44 and 49, were taken to NYPD's nearby 24th precinct station house, police said. 

The attack comes as New York City this week became to first major U.S. city to require hospitality, entertainment and fitness businesses to ask customers for proof of vaccination to gain access to indoor venues. Any business that fails to comply could face a $1,000 fine. (Read more
