Brawl breaks out inside bridal shop

Shopping for a dress is usually a fun experience for brides to be. But one in Michigan allegedly went into a store looking for a brawl instead of a dress. Security cameras at First Lady Bridal caught it all on tape.

Owner Hekmat Putruss said, “Apparently these people don't know how to handle things in the United States. They thought they were in Fallujah or mountains in Iraq or something." Putruss says this all started last Tuesday after he refused to provide alterations for a bad mouthing bride who bought a dress and became a nightmare to work with. He told her to take her business elsewhere. Hekmat continued, "She started threatening me, you don't know who I am, I’ll call my husband to kill you, to teach everyone here a lesson."



After the threats were made the owners locked down the store but a person inside the shop opened the door and let the three men in. Inside the store packed with customers, the three men enter and confront the owner. They start pushing each other and throw the owner's son to the ground. One of the men then grabs the owner's wife, spits at her and slaps her across the face. From another camera angle the video shows a man grab the owner, shove him forty feet into the showcase and tackle him to the ground. The owner's son now shirtless was hit and shoved in the same direction.

The fists continue to fly and the men pick up the formally dressed mannequins and use them as weapons. Hekmat said, "They just attacked without notice. This is a clothing store, a women's clothing store, we don't expect things like this to happen." Police eventually intervened and arrested Nameer Kastaw, Nashwan Petros and Thamir Mikhail for assault.
