A mother and he child were told to leave a Applebee's restaurant in Queens, New York, for being unvaccinated, the New York Post reports.
The video shows officers from NYPD's Strategic Response Group asking several unvaccinated patrons to leave the restaurant.
The protesters went to the restaurant and "refused to leave when staff refused them service for not showing vaccination cards," according to a published report.
In a news statement, NYPD confirmed they responded to the restaurant after reports of a disturbance. Police said four people were arrested and charged with criminal trespass, though the mother and child were not charged.
The statement says officers were informed by the manager that individuals entered, refused to prove vaccination status in compliance with a city mandate, and requested the individuals to be removed from the property.
The mandate says that individuals who are eligible to be vaccinated must show proof of at least one shot of vaccination to eat at an indoor restaurant, bar, or other eatery, via a copy of their vaccination card or proof on one of the city or state apps.
The incident took place on December 15 during a protest at the Queens Centre Mall.
