Fight at J. Alexander's restaurant has customers diving for cover
On Mother's Day, Memphis Police responded to J. Alexander's on North Germantown Parkway in the Wolfchase area at around 6:30 p.m. Police say Ivy, who was armed, walked into the restaurant and assaulted his ex-girlfriend while she was eating dinner with her family.
A female suspect, who police have identified as Ivy's girlfriend, allegedly joined the attack. According to police, when customers tried to stop Ivy, he pulled out a handgun and told everyone to 'get back.'
A woman who tried to break up the fight was allegedly punched in the face by the female suspect. Ivy is also accused of pointing the gun directly at a man who tried to stop the assault.
Witnesses told WREG that some people ran out of the restaurant's emergency exit during the incident.
'I knew it was serious when the drinks hit the floor,' witness Joshua Abbott said. 'Next thing I know is, somebody from the staff runs through, and it was surreal, like a Bruce Willis movie. He started running through, saying 'Get down, get down!' Everybody just jumped underneath, started getting under the tables.'
