The two talked briefly before the man attacked her in the rear office, police said. A police source said it didn't appear that any weapon was used in the ferocious assault that left the office spattered with blood and in disarray. There's no weapon back there. The suspect was described as a neatly dressed, medium-built black male. He was about 6 feet tall, 28-30 years old, cleanshaven, and wearing a shiny or satin jacket.
Old City is hip and happening, and last night was no different.
The streets were packed as people walked into the pricey restaurants less then a half a block away from the boutique. Traffic jammed on the street as cars crawled along and drivers trolled for coveted parking spaces. The Mexican Post, a restaurant next door to the crime scene, was packed. Christmas lights hung in the window. I'm happy to hear she's all right, but this is a shock.
