Social media advertised a New Year’s Eve party at the nightclub. One person inside told Channel 2′s Candace McCowan that it was a great party until “one person got out of control.”
A man named Sensei who said he is a relative of the owner of Lacura Bar and Bistro said the aggressive patron was escorted out.
“Security acted as if they were supposed to, which was remove the person that was inside causing disturbance from all the other patrons to make sure they were safe. Once they did, they go outside, law enforcement escorted them to their car so they could get off the property,” Sensei described.
