Suspect (NYPD) and Bel Aire Diner, located at 31-91 21st St. (QueensPost)

June 28, 2019 By Christian Murray

A fight broke out between two women at the Bel Aire Diner in Astoria earlier this month that left a bystander with a cut face.

The two women got into a heated argument at about 2:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 15 at the 31-91 21st St. diner before it quickly escalated into a fight. One of the women threw a glass container during the fight that struck a Bel Aire Diner employee in the face causing a laceration.

The employee, a 34-year-old man, required three stitches to his face.

Police are looking to locate the alleged perpetrator, described as being black, about 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing about 120 pounds and last seen wearing a blue jean jacket and dark pants.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM, on Twitter @NYPDTips.

Thanks Captain Obvious

You forgot to mention the diner has tables and chairs and serves food.

You're welcome, Emperor Douche

Unfortunately, stating the bleeding obvious is now needed because people are growing up without being raised.

Could always let those kids continue to stay oblivious. Trump needs his supporters.

Paraphrasing

I guess when a couple of girls who were up to no good started making trouble in the neighborhood, the employee got into one little fight and his mom got scared and said, “You’re moving in with your auntie and uncle at Bel-Aire.”
