What is the name of your state?I live in Montgomery County, PA! Last night my boyfriend and I met friends of ours for drinks (one of them is disabled).... After two beers the bartender announced "last call, I am closing at 12:15" my boyfriend then said to us "ten minutes to finish our beers". With that the bartender came to our table and asked my boyfriend "Are you being a wiseass?" We all responded no, obviously confused at the bartenders anger. We then left the bar...as we walked outside, he came out behind us (pushing my disabled friend down two steps) he proceeded to physically attack my boyfriend. I yelled for help and a neighbor called police. When the police arrived they said we could not file assault charges, and sited us all with disorderly conduct. We were also told by police that if we filed assault charges we would all be arrested.I found out the bartender was on parole, and he was arrested for warrants, not assault. I am confused over his attack, but also by the way the police treated us. We were not intoxicated nor charged with intoxication. P.S. The owner of the establishment watched the entire incident. Any help is greatly appreciated!Do we have the right to file charges?
