They didn’t get any white chocolate raspberry truffles, but some could argue that they got their just desserts.
Six men in what police described as a “large group” of anti-vaccine protesters were arrested Tuesday night as they attempted to stage a “sit-in″ at a Cheesecake Factory in Queens, New York.
Police arrived at the chain restaurant about 7 p.m. Tuesday in response to a 911 call claiming trespassing, the New York Police Department told HuffPost via an emailed statement.
The restaurant employee who called in the complaint said she asked to see the group’s COVID-19 vaccination cards when they entered the restaurant, in accordance with New York City’s indoor dining mandate. But the members of the group refused. A local newspaper, the Queens Daily Eagle, said the group of about 30 people included children as young as 10.
Instead, the protesters blew past the host stand, ignoring a line of other customers waiting to be seated, and sat at empty tables throughout the restaurant as well as at the bar, according to footage posted on social media.
