  1. Finally someone is willing to step out (literally!) and fight back. What a shame that a business owner has to do such a thing. You are amazing and you have my vote. Enough is enough. Good for you! Just be careful please. We need you.

  2. OMG. That’s my amazing daughter Cortney Bond. She didn’t say a word. The only reason I found out about how heroic she was is because I subscribe to the Upper East Site newsletter. She has always been a strong woman, fiercely opiniated. I don’t know anyone that loves New York more than her. I’m so proud of her for owning two businesses in Upper East Side Manhattan. I think one day she might just be the Mayor of New York City!!!!

    • Super story. And Cortney did it the safe way, flagging down the cops. But–I’ve lived on the UES my whole life—and I speak from experience —-Be Careful, bad sh*t happens fast and the box cutters or worse come out when you corner these assh*oles. That said, well done Cortney, you’ve got my vote. And nice job on the 3 small businesses UES too, I don’t see CHASE BANK or DUANE READE helping out around the ‘hood. 🙂
