Gay man claims he was assaulted by two Shake Shack employees for kissing his boyfriend

Christian Dingus, a 28-year-old man, claims to have been assaulted by several Shake Shack employees after kissing his companion while waiting for their order at the Dupont Circle restaurant in Washington. He claims to have experienced a surge of aggression after asking how long their turn was, with his boyfriend trying to ease tensions. After a few verbal exchanges, Christian's partner was escorted out of the restaurant, where the situation escalated. According to Christian, the employees violently pushed him away before collectively attacking him. A video taken by a cell phone apparently shows two Shake Shack employees delivering blows to Christian's head; the moments leading up to the incident are not captured by the video.
