AUSTIN RESTAURANT OWNER ASSAULTED

The owner of Chekos, a Mexican restaurant in Austin, says he was injured after
asking a group of customers to leave. Now, he and his family want help
identifying the suspects who were caught on camera.

AUSTIN, Texas - The owner of Chekos, a Mexican restaurant in Austin, says he was
injured after asking a group of customers to leave. Now, he and his family want
help identifying the suspects who were caught on camera. 

In 16 years of running the restaurant, Sergio Alberto Vazquez, who is in his
70s, says he's never gone through anything like what happened on April 28. 





It started when a group of two women and one man didn't want to pay.

"I say, 'okay, don't worry about it. Don't pay me, but please leave the
restaurant and don't come back,'" Sergio said. 



In surveillance video, the group can be seen starting to break plates before
walking out. 

"I took my phone and I tried to take a picture of the license plates of the car
that was driving, and the guy had just come down from the car and started
hitting me," Sergio said. "One of the girls came over and pulled me from my
shirt and sent me to the ground by the parking lot. So I hurt my finger and hurt
my nose."

Some customers tried to help, but the group left before police showed up.

"I can't believe this happened to me right now because this has never happened
to me before," Sergio said. 

"When he got home, he had a very bloody nose, blood all over his shirt, and his
finger, his hand was hurt with blood," said Minerva Vazquez, Sergio's wife. She
asked him, 'why didn't you take me with you?'" 

The APD Incident Database shows an "injury to elderly" offense at the Chekos
address on Sunday.

Sergio's daughter, Maria Vazquez, says Sergio is seen as a father figure in the
community and has helped customers who were unable to pay multiple times
before. 

"We do want to create this awareness for everybody to see, for everybody to know
and to help us recognize who [the suspects] are," she said. "It's not about the
money. The bill is not a big thing. We will hit a loss. It's fine, but to be
physically abusive to somebody, that's traumatizing."

The family wants to get the word out, so they can continue serving customers in
a safe environment. 

"We do want to make sure that this is a safe place for everybody that comes
because it's a family business, it's a family restaurant," Maria said.
