Kansas City Men Throw Barrage Of Chairs At Man Who Attempted To Stab Bar Staff: See Wild Video

One man walked into a pop-up bar in Missouri armed with a large kitchen knife. Unfortunately, for him, the patrons were armed with chairs.

Rustam Huseinov had been serially disturbing the Miracle on the Plaza pop-up Bar in Kansas City. According to KSHB 41, Huseinov had frequented the bar as a patron, although he became increasingly disruptive.

He was booted from the pub On December 12 for being "disruptive." He had also allegedly been making "inappropriate sexual comments and gestures." Huseinov was not permitted to enter the bar again.

Last Saturday, however, he returned. He refused to leave, so the staff called the police. Only an hour after he was kicked out again, Huseinov returned with a large kitchen knife. Court documents describe him "[targeting] the employees that had escorted him out early."

His attack attempt was foiled, however, by the brave customers at Miracle on the Plaza. They immediately sprung to action with what they had to hand, their chairs. Or, more accurately, their red plastic stools.

They launched chair after chair at the knife-wielding suspect. Amazingly, it worked in getting Huseinov backed into a corner and suppressed until the police arrived.

Man Arrested After Being Cornered By Bar Stools

Without the quick-thinking of the patrons, some staff may have been seriously wounded. The police arrested Huseinov without further incident.

He is facing seven felonies and one misdemeanor, including second-degree assault, trespassing, and armed criminal action. He is due in court on Monday afternoon.

Although the alleged crook got caught, the incident was no miracle for the bar. They have racked up a large tab of their own in property damage. According to the outlet, the bar is facing an estimation of $3,000 in damages thanks to the volley of chairs.

The disruption also caused many patrons to flee. There were $900 of unpaid bar tabs at the time of the altercation that the bar missed out on.

Although the employees are safe and sound, the bar is facing some pretty hefty costs, and right before Christmas.
