Employees and patrons of the Montclair Family Restaurant were fighting at around 4 p.m., when one employee called his acquaintance, 33-year-old Joshua Fitzpatrick, to assist him in this dispute, Prince William County Police reported.
Once Fitzpatrick arrived and confronted the individuals involved, one patron, 38-year-old Timothy Nolton, hacked Fitzpatrick with a machete, officials said.
