The unknown employee told the customer that the extra chicken would cost more.

A dispute arose over the order and “words were exchanged” between Pyle and the victim, according to authorities.

Afterwards, the young adult decided to end her shift and began to leave from one side of the dining room, but that's when Williams, who is 6 feet tall, entered from the other side and approached her.

Officials said the accused man pushed the employee to the ground and began hitting her, pulling her hair and pulling her around.

They further said Pyle joined in and began punching the employee.

By the time police arrived on scene, both suspects had fled the scene in a gray 2021 Dodge Charger.

Officers reported that the victim refused treatment at the scene and sought treatment on his own.

Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile said in a statement: “I do not know what was said between Pyle and the victim, but the victim left for home and was chased from behind by Williams and assaulted in the dining room of the restaurant.

'The attack was completely unjustified. I hope the victim has recovered from her injuries. “I appreciate the assistance we received from the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department in identifying Williams and Pyle, and I encourage them to turn themselves in and allow the justice system to take its course in this case.”

The Sheriff's Office also identified a male juvenile with Pyle and Williams, but he has not been identified and will not be charged.
