COLUMBIA - A 22-year-old man has been the victim of a horrifying assault by the staff and owner of a local restaurant in Columbia following a simple dispute over salsa, local police report.

According to authorities, on the night of June 26, shortly after the victim, who wishes to remain anonymous, expressed his dissatisfaction with the salsa served at "Los Sabores de Columbia", he was confronted by the restaurant's employees in a violent and shocking scene. Eyewitnesses described a tumultuous altercation that took place outside the restaurant, where the young man was brutally beaten by a group of employees.

In an appalling turn of events, upon arriving at the scene, the restaurant's owner, identified as Luis Moreno, reportedly joined in the assault, delivering several kicks and blows himself. It's said he was informed of the incident by the staff before his violent involvement.

"I've never seen anything like this in all my years," a shaken eyewitness told reporters. "It was a terrifying scene. A disagreement over salsa should never escalate to such violence."

The victim, who sustained severe injuries including multiple broken bones, is currently receiving treatment at the local hospital. The doctors reported his condition as stable but critical, saying he will require extensive rehabilitation.

Local law enforcement officials have condemned the incident and have launched a comprehensive investigation into the attack. "This is a shocking act of violence that is utterly unacceptable," said Police Chief Mariana Rodriguez. "Our officers are doing everything they can to bring the individuals responsible to justice."

The owner, Luis Moreno, and several of his employees were arrested shortly after the incident. If convicted, they could face severe criminal charges including assault and battery, and potentially attempted murder.

The incident has sent shockwaves through the local community, sparking outrage and calls for stricter regulations on workplace violence. Protests outside the restaurant have been ongoing, with local residents demanding justice for the victim.

This shocking event raises serious questions about the safety of customers in businesses and public places. The local community is banding together to support the young victim and his family during this challenging time, and to push for a more secure and violence-free environment in Columbia's local establishments.
