After joining the group, he claimed they began questioning him about where he was from and making comments about his appearance.
Feeling uncomfortable, Mr Bank asked to return to his original table after sitting with them for around two minutes.
After he moved back, he alleged that members of the group started throwing objects at him.
Mr Bank said he decided to leave and asked for the bill, but one of the group members allegedly warned him against leaving.
They allegedly chased his car and attacked him
Concerned for his safety, Mr Bank and his friend left the restaurant and drove away.
However, he said the group followed them on motorcycles and forced him to stop by blocking his vehicle.
“At first I did not want to stop, but they swerved in front of my car and blocked me,” he said.
