My immediate thought with incidents like this is if there’s video of the incident. Most establishments have some kind of security system. That video tends to be time-sensitive, though, so it needs to be secured as promptly as possible and saved—not just for the police investigations but also so the victim’s loved ones can have that evidence available to them.
