A fight over a pool table at a DeKalb County sports bar led to one man allegedly hitting another over the head with a glass.

Sean Stevens is charged with aggravated assault and Daniel Edwards is charged with simple battery and fighting following the bar scuffle last month, jail records show.

Amir Haynes shot a video of the incident inside Gilly’s Sports Bar in Dunwoody on Feb. 2, Channel 2 Action News reported. He told the news station the fight was the culmination of an argument between the two men.

Police said the men exchanged words after Edwards took over a table Stevens had reserved. Then, blows were thrown, authorities said.

"He just wrenched his arm back and smashed the glass into his face and then blood was going everywhere,” Haynes told Channel 2. “It was an insane amount of blood."

Edwards was released on bond from the DeKalb County Jail on Feb. 8. Stevens bonded out Saturday after turning himself in Thursday.
