Nassau Teen Attacked, Threatened Nail Salon Workers: Police

UNIONDALE, NY — A teen was arrested Saturday evening for attacking two workers of a nail salon and threatening them with a knife, Nassau County police said.

The 15-year-old girl went to S&D Nail Salon, located at 581 Uniondale Ave. in Uniondale, for a manicure on Saturday afternoon. The girl got into an argument with employees, police said, and left the store without paying.

The manager and an employee followed the girl, and there was an altercation, police said. The girl pushed both of them to the ground, causing them minor cuts, and then threatened them with a knife before fleeing, police said.

Police located the girl at a home about a fifth of a mile from the nail salon at 5:26 p.m. Officers tried to place her under arrest, but police say the girl resisted by concealing her hands. She was eventually placed under arrest, and police say they recovered a knife at the scene.

The teen is charged with third-degree assault, second-degree menacing, theft of services, fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon and resisting arrest. She is scheduled to be arraigned on Feb. 2 in Nassau County Family Court in Westbury.
