The Saturday brawl took place at the Ashford House, an eatery in Tinley Park, Ill., that was hosting a group of about 20 people who said they were from a European heritage organization.
Law enforcement sources, however, said the group consisted of white supremacists, according to CBS 2 Chicago.

About 10 diners were injured, and three were hospitalized with head wounds, according to reports.
“This was a real riot,†Tinley Park Mayor Edward Zabrocki told MSNBC.com. “These guys started beating the crap out of the other group.â€
