appears to show a person behind the counter of a Dallas store swinging a bucket of steaming liquid at them.
The video was provided by the customers’ legal team, civil rights attorney Ben Crump and Paul A. Grinke, who obtained it through a court order. The suit, which was filed July 13 in a Dallas County district court, alleges Taco Bell and workers at the restaurant displayed gross negligence and hiring negligence that set in motion the alleged attack. It seeks more than $1 million in costs and damages.
Taco Bell’s parent company Yum! Brands, and a regional franchisee entity, North Texas Bells, which are also named in the suit, did not respond to previous requests for comment, and the same was the case when informed of coverage based on that security video. Taco Bell and North Texas Bells also did not respond to requests asking for comment from two unnamed employees listed on the suit.
Video of the encounter shows C.T. and Davis hit with water as one of the customers, identified by one of their attorneys as Davis, crosses through an opening in the counter that appears to lead to the kitchen.
