On the evening of May 18, a pro-Palestinian mob attacked a group of diners at the Sushi Fumi restaurant on La Cienega Boulevard. Video footage showed the assailants shouting racial slurs and throwing glass bottles before physically assaulting several diners, three of whom were young Iranian American Jewish men; the fourth, a local photographer, was a young man who identifies as an Armenian-Lebanese Christian named Mher (who, in another interview, gave the Journal permission to use his first name). A witness told CBSLA that dozens of assailants stepped out of their vehicles and that one of them asked diners, âAre you Jewish?â On May 21, the police, with the help of the U.S. Marshal Service, arrested the primary suspect
