Police: Dispute Over Crab Legs Turns Violent, 2 Arrested At CT Restaurant

MANCHESTER, Conn. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Police say two people were arrested after a dispute over crab legs at a Connecticut restaurant turned violent.

Police were called to Royal Buffet in Manchester, Connecticut, on Saturday evening after a juvenile was punched in the face.

Clifford Knight and Latoya Knight were arrested. Clifford Knight is charged with third-degree assault and disorderly conduct. Latoya Knight is charged with disorderly conduct and threatening.

Police say the juvenile's mother deployed pepper spray in self-defense. She is not facing charges. The restaurant was temporarily closed while health officials assessed the building's air quality following the pepper spray.

It's unclear whether Clifford Knight and Latoya Knight have attorneys who could comment.
