Five people were arrested after a group of protesters stormed a Burger King restaurant in New York on the evening of December 27 to protest the city's demands for a COVID-19 vaccination. New York Post.
The protesters without masks (which also violates the requirements of the city authorities) were filmed. They yelled at the restaurant staff for refusing to serve them due to the lack of vaccination cards. Police officers said they were called after the group refused to leave the facility following several requests from staff.
The New York City Vaccine Mandate requires all restaurant customers wishing to dine indoors to show vaccination cards.
Mitchell Bosch, 41, who was one of five people taken into custody at Burger King, has already been arrested twice this month during similar protests. They took place at the Cheesecake Factory and Applebee.
