Nail salon brawl caught on video leads to calls for
business to close

NEW YORK — Calls to stop supporting a Brooklyn nail salon grew louder Monday, days after video was shared online showing employees attacking patrons with brooms, dust pans and, allegedly, acetone.
The brawl happened at New Red Apple Nail in East Flatbush.
Dozens of protestors gathered outside the salon Monday afternoon demanding the business be closed, and asking that locals take their business elsewhere. Several people held signs stating "Black $$$ matters" and chanted "black dollars matter."
The protest happened after video was shared on Facebook Friday night showing a group of women in smocks surrounding a woman as a second woman whacks her with a broom. The woman being hit is beaten on the back as she walks out of the salon. That's when the video shows the women in smocks turn toward two black women huddled against a wall. The groups yell at each other, and one employee throws a liquid at the women.
Surveillance video given to WPIX Monday shows the beginning of the brawl. It is unclear which party started the fight.
An activist who protested over the weekend claimed the liquid thrown was acetone, the primary ingredient in nail polish remover, and that the altercation began because a woman at the salon with her two grandchildren did not want to pay for a poorly done eyebrow treatment.
“So because she did not want to pay the $5 for her messed-up eyebrows, they attacked this grandmother and her two granddaughters with sticks, threw acetone on them and then called the police on them,” activist Jasmine Johnson alleges.
The woman who initially posted the video of the incident also said a patron refused to pay the salon because she felt the employee did not do a good job, prompting the fight. The video has so far been viewed more than 720,000 times.
"Share this cause the cops decided to arrest the black people but not the Chinese people who ganged up on them," Mercy Maduka stated on Facebook.
Police on Monday confirmed the incident resulted in two arrests.
Employee Huiyue Zhing faces charges of misdemeanor menacing, misdemeanor criminal possession of a weapon and harassment, and customer Christina Thomas faces charges of misdemeanor assault, misdemeanor menacing and harassment, police said.
Zhing was hospitalized with visible injuries to her face and body, and Thomas refused medical attention, according to police.
Police have not confirmed any other details in the case.
Over the weekend, Johnson organized a demonstration in front of the salon.
"We don’t need to protest, we need to financially castrate this business. They cannot survive and we cannot feed them," Johnson said in Facebook video capturing the protest.
Since the fight, hundreds of negative reviews, often referencing the incident, have been left on the salon's Yelp page. Many demand it be closed, and tell locals to take their business elsewhere.

Casper Thefriendlyghost What would you do if a customer of yours hit you and dragged you on the ground because you told them they had to pay the bill?

Bump Yum I know for sure black people always do not want to pay for anything, and always are making up excuses so they get things done for them for free. When they rent a house, they don't pay the rent. And they live in the landlord's house without paying. Also they damage the landlord houses. Government must take strict actions to prevent black people from taking advantage from other people.
