On March 5, an enormous brawl broke out inside the Hyatt Regency Crystal City during the DMV Music Awards. The fights, which involved more than 20 people, forced every single available Arlington County police unit to the scene and the violence sent five people to the hospital. Now, an employee of the hotel is speaking out about the consequences of the violence, which ended up costing him an eye.

The above video, provided by the Arlington County Police Department, features Antonio Illanes, a bartender at the hotel who tells a detective that multiple operations since the incident — and an upcoming one that will outfit him with a prosthetic eye — has basically ruined him financially and crippled his motivation.

“I cannot live this way,” Illanes tells the detective, adding that he wasn’t sure if he’d ever be able to work again. The hotel has been collecting donations for Illanes to help defray his medical bills.

Police have not yet made a single arrest in connection with the brawl, but are actively seeking information about the female suspect who allegedly attacked Illanes.
