BEACHWOOD, Ohio — A Saks Fifth Avenue employee, while at work, was attacked by a female acquaintance with whom he had problems in the past.

At 12:55 p.m., Oct. 31, police were called to the store at Beachwood Place Mall, 26300 Cedar Road, on a report of an assault.

The employee told police she had been having problems for about two years with the suspect, who showed up at the store and told her he needed to “beat her up.”

The suspect then left the store, but returned 15 minutes later accompanied by another woman.

This time, the suspect unexpectedly charged at the female employee and punched her in the left side of the face. The other woman, meanwhile, recorded the attack. Minutes later, the video was posted on the suspect’s X account.

The suspect, whose age was not given in the released police report, left the store and was seen by mall security leaving the property in an SUV.

Police contacted the suspect’s mother, who agreed for her daughter to call the police.

The victim wanted to pursue an assault charge and requested a protective order.
