ASSAULT AT THE PAVILION

As we exited the 7:10 showing of "Definitely, Maybe" at the Park Slope Pavilion, I saw crowd of policemen on the second floor. A woman came up the stairs and said, "I'm her mother. I'm the girl's mother." She then ran an area near the 2nd floor bathrooms and concession stand where her daughter, a teenager, was sitting on a bench icing an injury on her face just below her right eye. The girl started to sob hysterically when she saw her mother.

"Where's the woman who did this?" the mother asked a police officer. "What's happening with the girl who did this to my daughter?" the mother asked angrily.

When we got to the first floor there was a woman standing with her three children—two boys and one girl—by the concession stand in the lobby. On closer look, we saw that she was wearing hand-cuffs.

She was taken out to a police car; her children were left behind. I heard someone say that someone had been called to get the arrested woman's children.

The injured girl was escorted by her mother, father and a policeman to a waiting ambulance. A crowd of people outside were trying to figure out which movie they'd been to.

"I'm thinking Hannah Montana," one woman said.

Probably "Step U 2 The Streets," someone else said.

It was determined that the assault occurred during the 7:05 screening of "Step Up 2 The Streets."
