The Facebook post said the man in the photos was one of a group of more than 10 people who came to Sully's to watch a boxing match. Restaurant staff informed the group it could not accommodate such a large party. Staff also told them the restaurant could only serve customers 21 and over after 10 p.m. The Facebook post said at least three children 12 and under were part of the group.

"This person, a female, and another male began cursing out the bouncer/security and the female assaulted our manager while our manager attempted to call the police," the Sully's Facebook post said.
