Brawl Breaks Out Inside Bridal Shop

Bride-To-Be Upset About Dress

Three men are due in court this week on assault charges involving a brawl inside a bridal shop, WDIV-TV in Detroit reported.

It began as a confrontation between a bride-to-be and a store employee at First Lady Prom and Bridal that eventually got out of hand, store owner Hekmat Putruss said.

Putruss said the fight stemmed from an earlier dispute workers had with the woman over her dress.

The bride-to-be returned the following day to ask for alterations but Putruss refused and told the customer to leave.

"We are not doing any service for you. You need to take your dress and leave," Putruss said he told the woman.

That’s when the situation escalated.

“She told me ‘I’m going to call my husband to come and kill you here and teach everybody here a lesson,’” Putruss said.

The store was then put on lockdown.

Moments later, a surveillance camera captured a friend of the bride-to-be opening the door. A group of men then stormed inside and slapped the store owner's wife in the face and attacked his son. Putruss was also tackled, shoved into a case and thrown to the ground.

Police came to the store and arrested the men. They’ve been arraigned on assault charges.

But Putruss said he would like to see the men charged with attempted murder.

Putruss said he’s been in business for more than 25 years and he’s never seen or experienced anything like this. “It taught us a lesson to take extraordinary precautions, he said.

Putruss estimated the damage from the fight to be around $20,000.

Nobody was seriously injured.
