BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A man was allegedly pepper sprayed during a fight at the Longhorn Steakhouse in Cheektowaga on Wednesday night, according to police.

Police responded to the restaurant, located on Walden Avenue in Cheektowaga, just after 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. Investigation determined that two men were fighting in front of the restaurant when a woman approached and sprayed one of the men.

Police said everyone fled the area and were unable to be located.
