Surveillance Video: Assault at Bensalem bar on December 20, 2017.

Police say one of the suspects got into an argument with the bartender and threw a punch.

A scuffle ensued between the four suspects and employees that were trying to remove them from the bar.

Police say one of the male suspects struck an employee in the head with a bottle and caused a serious laceration to his head.

Another suspect picked up a pool cue and began swinging it at employees.

All four men then fled from the bar in two separate older model 4-door gray vehicles, police say.

According to authorities, a woman seen in the video was not involved in the altercation, but appears to know the suspects.

Police are asking for more tips as they look to make more arrests in this case.
