On December 26, just 16 hours and 39 minutes after the Christmas spirit left our fair city, Seattle police responded to the Northgate Mall after someone reported two 20-year-old women fighting at Forever 21, a clothing retailer targeting women who want to be 21 forever.
According to the police report, a woman (who we shall call "Woman #1") was shopping with her mother when she spotted an old enemy (who we will call "Woman #2"). Woman #1 then confronted Woman #2, and "began accusing [her] of theft of a bracelet."
After a short time, the women came to blows amidst approximately 100 customers—including one ill-fated customer, who we will call "Woman #3." The report continues:
As [Woman #3] attempted to separate the two females, [Woman #1] grabbed a stiletto heeled shoe off of a counter and struck [Woman #3] in the head with the heel of the shoe. [Woman #3] fell to the ground and [Woman #1] ran out of the store.
Woman #2 stayed on the scene and comforted Woman #3, who "had a visible bleeding injury to her head" from the stiletto. Woman #2 told police that "she is an old friend of [stiletto-wielding Woman #1], but they do not talk anymore."
Police detained Woman #1's mother, who did not know her daughter's whereabouts. Woman #3 got a ride with a friend to Northwest Hospital.
A store employee who witnessed part of the commotion told officers that he "intervened during the fight and was able to separate the two" and that "the shoe assault happened after he walked away." The employee attempted to show police security camera footage, but only the exit camera was working, which is a damn shame.
Wait. I'm not sure that makes it any better. But it would have been funnier if she had to hop around on one stilettoed foot.
