I received a very disturbing email from an agent I'm in escrow with. Her husband threw her a 30th birthday party at The MoMo Lounge, a block away from my midtown Lyon real estate office at 27th and J Streets. According to my friend, her husband was assured there would be security provided for this very important and private party.
In the middle of this special occasion over the weekend, the agent saw three people she did not know standing by the handbags. She walked over to question them, asking if they were friends of her husband. The man spat in her face, then punched her in face and he pushed her to the ground. Then his two female companions held her on the ground, pulled out huge chunks of her hair, while the man continued to kick and stomp on her.
Please be careful if you plan private parties with public access in Midtown. And please, get a guarantee on security. This is so dreadful, I hardly know what to say about it except that I am feeling very worried and anxious about this agent. Fortunately, she went to see her family physician. She has bruises, is sore and has a mild concussion. The victim's husband is distraught and blaming himself because security was not in force.
She's filing a police report today. Crime can happen anywhere. Not just in Midtown.
