Seven people have been arrested and two others are still at large after a chaotic brawl at a North Carolina bar last month led to a hospitalized bouncer.
In chaotic footage captured on video by one patron, two men can be seen hailing down blows on another man's head. The bouncer then intervenes - while one man pulls his sweatshirt over the bouncer's head, another man and woman throw a flurry of punches and kicks.Chairs and drinks are thrown; the woman behind the bar can be seen throwing her hands up and yelling at the roiling mass of patrons.

Good Samaritan bargoers and another security guard pull the assailants off the bouncer under siege. Then, a man who appears to be an employee uses a bar stool to push agitated customers out of the establishment. Police said in one of several press releases that the security guard was hit with "several" chairs in the upset, and was hospitalized after the incident. Thirst Pallet owner Eric Zyglis wrote in a Facebook post that a bouncer, known as "Big Teddy Bear," came back to work the day after his hospitalization.
