Police: Large Fight with Injuries, Arrests

A few days before the shootings on Beekman took over headlines, there was a serious bar fight at Sleepy Hollow's Santorini Restaurant resulting in injuries, arrests and a violation issued against the establishment.

On March 29 at 2:40 a.m., Sleepy Hollow police received a call from someone who sounded winded. The caller reported a fight in progress at the Valley Street Greek restaurant, possibly involving weapons.

Two officers were sent. Police requested Tarrytown PD's assistance to break up multiple fights and disperse a large group. Tarrytown police sent three officers.

Sleepy Hollow police reported two men under arrest, one whom officers subdued with a taser.

Tarrytown police reported one man was suffering a possibly stab wound, though Sleepy Hollow police have not confirmed this.

At 3:04 a.m. police charged:

• A 23-year-old male from Tarrytown with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and harassment in the second,
• and a 19-year-old from Sleepy Hollow with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

Tarrytown PD were asked to assist securing the crime scene as Sleepy Hollow got more manpower in. 

At 3:39 a.m., police reported that one of the men was taken to Westchester Medical Center by Sleepy Hollow Ambulance Corps. The other was transported to Phelps Memorial Hospital by Tarrytown Volunteer Ambulance Corps, apparently for injuries sustained from the taser, reported Tarrytown police.

Police contacted the EFIA school security manager about the young man brought to Phelps emergency room, apparently a student at the school.

Police issued an alcohol violation referral to the Liquor Authority against the establishment.

Finally, at 5:15 p.m. that day, Sleepy Hollow detectives reported the arrest of a third male allegedly involved in the fight.

Police charged a 20-year-old Sleepy Hollow man with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
