A teenage hostess at a Chili’s restaurant in Louisiana was allegedly assaulted by three customers who were furious that she enforced a coronavirus-related seating policy.

Kelsy Wallace, 17, was beaten up by three women — in an attack that left her bleeding from the head — after they requested to sit with a larger group of their friends at the eatery in Baton Rouge on Sunday, NBC reported.

“[Wallace] advised the group that due to social distancing requirements, the business only allowed six at a table,” prompting the women to fly into a fit of rage, Baton Rouge police told the station.

Wallace, who later posted photos online showing a chunk of her hair had been ripped out, was treated at a nearby hospital, according to the report.

The salty customers — Tammy Dabney, 48, Rodneka Dabney, 27, and Erica Dabney, 46 — were arrested Thursday, according to police Sgt. Don Coppola Jr.

Tammy Dabney faces charges of aggravated second-degree battery while Erica Dabney and Rodneka Dabney face charges of disturbing the peace and simple battery.

A rep for Chili’s didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
