CHELSEA — A Dallas BBQ chain where a gay couple was hit with a chair was the site of another attack this weekend, police say.

A 20-year-old woman was punched in the forehead after a “large dispute” broke out around 10:55 p.m. on Saturday, May 31 at the barbecue chain at 281 Eighth Ave., the NYPD said.

The woman did not require medical attention, the NYPD said.

No arrests were made in the incident, police said.

Co-owner Stuart Wetanson called the fight "an argument between two groups that escalated."

"Thankfully the police came and calmed the situation down," he wrote in an email. "Nobody was seriously hurt."

On May 6, a man hit a gay couple with a chair at the same Chelsea eatery, police said. Police said suspect Bayna El-Amin remains on the lam.
