A large brawl erupted at a Texas Roadhouse in Avon, leading to multiple injuries on Saturday night, prompting a response by both local police and Hendricks County Sheriff's deputies. The Avon Police Department identified the location of the altercation, which took place around 10 p.m., involving numerous individuals. First responders found victims and witnesses upon their arrival; however, the main suspects had already fled the scene, WISH-TV reported.
While no further details regarding the extent of the injuries have been released, initial reports clarified that there had been no stabbings or firearm discharges. Dispatched before officers arrived, the primary aggressors managed to avoid immediate capture. Now the police department is reaching out to the public for assistance in locating the suspects. Meanwhile, law enforcement stated, "Incidents of this magnitude are certainly not a regular occurrence in our community," as noted in the police department's post on Facebook.
The investigation is still ongoing, with the Avon Police Department gathering evidence which includes interviewing witnesses and collecting videos from the scene. According to the information provided by FOX59, the department is actively encouraging anyone with knowledge of the incident to get in touch, offering two contact points: the Avon Police Department at (317) 272-4485 and Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at (317) 262-8477.
While the establishment where the fight occurred was not initially named, a later update confirmed by the police linked the event to the Texas Roadhouse location. Witnesses who observed the chaotic skirmish have provided video footage to investigators, adding to the body of evidence being compiled. As the APD makes headway in the case, they have committed to sharing updates with the public when additional information can be responsibly disclosed.
