According to eyewitness accounts, the children approached Hassan directly, physically pulled him out of his chair, and insisted he leave with them. The demand sparked an immediate argument between all parties present.

What began as a verbal dispute between Dan-Adam and Huwayda quickly turned physical.

Dan-Adam later told reporters she was attacked by several people, describing being slapped, punched, kicked, and having her hair grabbed and pulled.

Throughout the confrontation, Hassan stood between the two groups, clearly at a loss over what to do.
