A bartender had to seek medical attention after she was reportedly attacked over the weekend by a 17-year-old youth who accused her of playing too much love songs.
The 27-year-old woman works at a bar in a section of Stony Hill and was reportedly punched and kicked all over her body following a verbal confrontation with the teen who argued that he was tired of hearing "too much 'lovey dovey' things."
The injured woman had to be taken to the hospital and is now nursing two broken fingers, a fractured leg along with swelling and bruises all over her body.
Her alleged attacker was later arrested and charged.
According to police reports, about 4:30 p.m on Saturday, the woman was at work when the incident occurred.
Corporal Wesley Palmer of the Area Five police said that based on statements from persons who were said to be present during the ordeal, the bartender decided to play some slow jams after listening to a particular radio station for a while.
It was reported that as the first song began playing, the teen who seemed enraged, stormed into the bar and asked the bartender to change back to the radio station instead of playing the love songs.
The bartender is said to have laughed, thinking it was a joke.
"The youngster walked in and asked her to stop the CD and and turn it back to the radio but she laughed," Corporal Palmer said before adding that the woman's laughter might have angered the young man even more.
Further allegations are that the boy walked up to the bartender and she was punched in the face. It is alleged that the teen said to the woman that, "a clown yu a clown out man ... Mi tired a yu now, everyday yu a play dem ... song deh, yu a play too much lovey dovey things."
When the bartender tried to retaliate, she was repeatedly punched and kicked. The police say the woman was even stomped on while she laid on the floor.
The five men who were having drinks at the bar are said to have watched in amazement as the woman received the beating.
The 17-year-old is said to have left the bar but was held shortly after. He was arrested and slapped with charges of assault. He is booked for the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's court next Tuesday.
