Police are looking for five people who were involved in a Mother's Day brawl at a south metro Atlanta Japanese steakhouse.
The fight broke out on Sunday at the Kiku Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar in East Point, GA.
According to a police report obtained by Channel 2 Action News, the melee started when a female customer berated a busboy, Demonte Harrison, for smiling. Harrison, who was cleaning tables at the time, told the woman it was his job to smile, and that she couldn't tell him not to smile.
Then another customer, a man, punched Harrison, and three other men in the group began punching him as well.
Harrison's fellow workers jumped in to defend him.
Restaurant owner Charlie Son estimated he lost about $5,000 in business on Sunday. No one was seriously injured, but to make matters worse, the patrons who started the fight never paid their tab, but just got up and left after the fight had ended.
