Nail technician attacked, bitten by customer in Pompano Beach

Portions of attack caught on surveillance camera

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. – A beauty technician said she was beaten up Monday at a nail salon in Pompano Beach.

"As she heads out, she says, 'I'm not going to pay. I changed my mind. I'm not going to pay,'"  said the victim, who did not want to be named. "So I stopped her and she just, you know, chest-bumped me. And I said, 'No, you have to pay. You can't just walk out like that.'"

That’s when the woman, trying to run out on her bill, decided to go on the attack, using her shoes and her hands to beat the employee at Star Nails on Atlantic Boulevard.

She even bit the victim at one point.

"I've been sore," the victim said. "I've been home ice-packing for the last two days."

Portions of the attack were caught on a surveillance camera.

The victim said she hopes her attacker is caught.

"Soon, I'm eventually going to ask people to pay first," she said.

Anyone with information about this attack is asked to call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
