A traffic stop culminated in a confrontation between Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and the managers of a Pittsburgh-area diner on May 25, according to multiple reports.

While the traffic stop didn't initially involve Central Diner and Grille in Robinson Township west of Pittsburgh, that's where the driver and passengers fled, according to reporting by CBS News and WTAE-TV.

When ICE attempted to chase them, a confrontation between agents and the restaurant's manager ensued, with a video from inside the restaurant showing agents pinning the manager to the floor.

Here's what we know.

Why did a confrontation happen between ICE and a Pittsburgh-area restaurant manager?

The chase started on Westpointe Drive, where ICE agents saw a vehicle associated with a "previously removed" undocumented immigrant and attempted to initiate a traffic stop, WTAE reported.

The driver and passengers fled into Central Diner and Grille, with ICE in pursuit, CBS News reported. The restaurant manager, whom reports did not name, wanted agents to show a search warrant.

Instead, a confrontation ensued, with video showing an agent pinning the manager, who is a U.S. citizen, to the floor.

"The agents had a knee on this guy," said Sky Wells, a volunteer with Frontline Dignity, a Pittsburgh-based immigration rights group. "This guy had apparently been in the hospital with heart issues the week before. So people were really concerned about him."

Frontline Dignity and Casa San José, a nonprofit community resource center advocating for Latinos in Pittsburgh, were both called to the scene, CBS News reported.

ICE said in a statement that a restaurant employee assaulted one of their agents after they entered the building to request a search, WTAE reported.

Did ICE agents make any arrests at the Pittsburgh-area restaurant?

ICE said there were several arrests related to the incident, though it's not clear exactly when the arrests took place.

While CBS News reported that ICE didn't find the individuals they were searching for, ICE said in a statement that two undocumented immigrants and a restaurant employee were arrested, WTAE reported.

Was anyone injured at the Pittsburgh-area restaurant during the confrontation with ICE?

In a statement posted to their Facebook page, Central Diner and Grille said the incident didn't result in any injuries.

"We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding," they said, adding that they had closed early following the altercation. "We are grateful that no customers or employees were harmed, and we look forward to welcoming you back when we resume normal operations tomorrow at 6:00 a.m."

Why was ICE near the Pittsburgh-area restaurant?
