Manhattan nightlife can be extremely exciting (I’ve heard) – sometimes in a not-so-good way.
Here and below is the complaint filed on October 27, 2014 by plaintiff Amanda Keisoglu against the Hotel Gansevoort and Marie Thys (among others). Plaintiff alleges that, on August 23-24, 2014 while partying with her friends, Thys “violently, forcefully, intentionally, and in reckless disregard of [plaintiff’s] safety stabbed [plaintiff] in the mid-upper thigh with her stiletto healed shoe”. (Here’s the NY Post article on the lawsuit.)
She asserts that the corporate defendants, among other things, failed to exercise due care “by failing to remove Thys from the premises after her express threats and belligerent behavior which existed for some time prior to” the alleged attack. She asserts, among other claims, that the corporate defendants thereby violated New York’s “Dram Shop Act”.
