Shocking footage has captured the moment a diner pulled a knife on another man at a restaurant in a frenzied episode sparked by spilt wine.
David Gulley, a 75-year-old Florida man, was arrested Thursday and charged with aggravated assault, possession of a weapon and terroristic threats following a wild speech at the Red Horse restaurant in Rumson, New Jersey.
According to police, Gulley pulled out a steak knife and “lunged at the victim after an argument over wine being spilled on the victim’s wife.”
In footage shared on social media, the victim can be seen angrily arguing with Gulley before exclaiming: “What is that? Do you have a knife in your hand?”

The victim can be seen angrily arguing with the attacker before exclaiming: “What is that? Do you have a knife in your hand?”
The altercation began when the victim told another table to “slow down on the old spirits, people.”
After a woman replies that “it was an accident,” he angrily responds, “An accident is the reason you have wine all over your back.”
The situation worsened dramatically after the victim, whose name was not released, said she saw a knife in Gulley’s hand. Stunned customers urged other witnesses to call 911.
Gulley is seen lunging at the other customer, but falls to the ground as the two men struggle over the knife.
The victim was seen grabbing the attacker’s wrists as he shouted: “Call the fucking police.”
Other witnesses joined in the chaos from other tables, as the manager continued to yell throughout the fight.
“Are you kidding? Attempted murder?” repeated one stunned witness as the group dispersed.
Police said Gulley punched the restaurant manager and pulled out a knife during the altercation and was arrested at the scene.
