Police confirmed today that Mr. Lee was charged with assault and forcible confinement, after a man claimed the musical director hit him and blocked the exit of his hotel room in the trendy Hazelton Hotel.
According to a woman eating brunch at the adjacent One Restaurant, a “horrifying yelling and screaming” match between two men could be heard from one of the hotel rooms, late Sunday morning. A computer bag was dropped to the road and a man climbed out the window, over the balcony ledge and scaled down to the restaurant patio.
“The guy starts climbing over the balcony, and he’s yelling and screaming at the other fellow. He crawled over the balcony and then proceeds to scale down the wall to the next level balcony,” one brunch goer, who did not want her name to be used, told the National Post. “He’s obviously looking for something to jump onto, and he sees one of the tables in the restaurant. So he jumps on to one of the tables.”
The woman said the man stormed off, leaving the brunchers stunned, before returning without a shirt about 10 minutes later and yelling at the restaurant patrons that he had forgotten something. Police who had been called to the scene spoke to the man in the back of a cruiser, she said. Police later took a well-dressed older man with glasses into custody.
