Shocking footage captured the moment a diner pulled a knife on another man in a restaurant in a frenzied episode triggered by spilled wine. 

Florida senior David Gulley, 75, was arrested on Thursday and charged with aggravated assault, possession of a weapon and terroristic threats following a crazed rant at the Red Horse restaurant in Rumson, New Jersey.  

According to police, Gulley pulled out a steak knife and 'lunged at the victim after an argument over wine being spilled on the victim's wife.'

Shocking footage captured the moment a patron pulled a knife in an altercation over spilled wine

The victim can be seen angrily arguing with the attacker before exclaiming: 'What is that, do you have a knife in your hand?' 

The altercation began as the victim told another table to 'slow down on the old spirits, people.' 

After a woman replies that 'it was an accident,' he angrily responds: 'An accident is why there's wine all over her back.' 

The situation drastically escalated after the victim, who is not named, said he spotted a knife in Gulley's hand. Stunned patrons urged other witnesses to call 911. 

Gulley is seen lunging at the other patron but falls to the floor as the two men grappled over the knife. 

The victim was seen gripping the assailant's wrists, as he yells to 'call the f***ing cops.' 

Other witnesses piled into the chaos from other tables, while the manager continued yelling throughout the melee.

'Are you kidding? Attempted murder?' one stunned witness repeated as the group broke up. 

Police said that Gulley punched the restaurant's manager and pulled a knife during the altercation, and he was arrested at the scene.

The altercation took place at a restaurant owned by celebrity chef David Burke, who praised management afterwards and said they 'did an excellent job' under the circumstances 

According to police, the victim's finger was cut during the altercation, but he refused treatment. 

Gulley was taken into custody and he is now facing a number of charges, including disorderly conduct and simple assault. 

The Red Horse is owned by celebrity chef David Burke, who told the Asbury Park Press that he spoke with the restaurant's management that same evening. 

'I thought they did an excellent job,' Burke said. 

'I mean they did exactly as they should have done. They tried to defuse it and they called the police.' 

After Gulley was arrested and charged, he was released on a summons.
