HuffPost
Starting this week, New York requires people dining at restaurants indoors to show proof of at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
Three women from Texas were charged with assaulting a host at a New York City restaurant Thursday evening after she asked for proof of COVID vaccination, as the city now requires for indoor dining.
The 24-year-old host at Carmine’s, an Italian restaurant on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, was struck multiple times with closed fists, resulting in bruises and scratches on her face, chest, and arm, and a broken necklace, police said.
Cellphone video shows the tourists nearly knocking over the host stand as the worker tried to back away. The assailants responded by grabbing at her neck and chest, the video shows.
