Video captured how a man with a gun attacked the owner of a D.C. pub—just inches from the owner's 4-year-old boy.
Gaynor Jablonski was sitting at a table inside his Barracks Row business Valor Brewpub just after 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 29, when he heard an angry voice coming from the front of the bar.
"It confused me because it's, it's two o'clock in the afternoon. What's going on?" Jablonski said.
Video from the surveillance cameras inside the pub shows Jablonski stand up to confront the man who was making the commotion. Jablonski's 4-year-old son, meanwhile, sat at the table nearby.
The man is then seen shoving Jablonski, pulling a gun from his waistband and briefly pointing it at the pub owner.
“He just kept saying, 'Sit down, white boy. I’m going to end you,'" Jablonski said.
Then, the man with the gun punched Jablonski and they began wrestling. Jablonski went for the gun with his elbow.
