Police Still Searching for Men Responsible for Geno's Attack




by KYW's John McDevitt

Philadelphia police continue to look for two men (in surveillance footage above and below) accused  of attacking a Geno's Steaks employee. The owner of the business is offering a reward. 

Police say it was around 6:30am December 27th when two males started to argue with a female employee at Geno's Steaks about the now notorious sign there "this is America, when ordering please speak English".     

A male employee, Tony Chestnut, was power-washing the sidewalk when he went to his co-workers aide. Chestnut, who is recovering at his south Philadelphia home, describes what he says happened next.

"When I just waved them off and turned my back and the next thing I know I was in the air and seeing the ground come up real close real fast"

Chestnut has cranial damage, hearing loss, and injuries to his spine and ribs.

The owner of Geno's is offering a $5,000 reward.
