As we previously reported, the August incident took place in Hollywood. Eden Estrada, Joslyn Allen and Jaslene Busanet were waiting for their Uber when the suspect in question offered to buy them items from a clothing store. Apparently when he refused to pay and the women left, he allegedly became upset and began harassing the women until things took a violent turn. According to police, witnesses said he then allegedly assaulted the second victim with a bottle, ultimately knocking her to the ground.
Joslyn recorded the incident and the video went viral and police were able to respond accordingly.
