Keith Koeppel, 56, of Lodi Michael Comas, 24, of Cliffside Park are accused of “using force upon and / or inflicting bodily injury” with a Cadillac Escalade on the manager following a theft last Oct. 14.
The manager, who refused medical attention, told police that the pair spoke to one another in English and Hebrew while in the Hackensack Avenue restaurant just off westbound Route 4.
When they left without paying, he chased them into the lot.
Hackensack police arrested Koeppel at his home on Nov. 13 after a viewer recognized the North Bergen native in a story posted about the incident.
Comas was taken into custody at his girlfriend’s house in Stamford, CT six days later.
Each posted $50,000 bail — down from an original $250,000 — and were released within days of their arrests.
