The video has no sound, and it is unclear which Chipotle restaurant was home to the brawl. West Hartford has three Chipotles: 966 Farmington Ave., 251 Prospect St., and 1457 New Britain Ave.
It is also unclear what the fight was about, though it appears to show a customer and an employee wrestling around, with the customer going behind the counter.
The fight then went out into the lobby, with the combatants grabbing at each other and some onlookers trying to break up the fight.
