I am a close friend of the Hagan family. I was there the night this incident happened and saw the whole thing. The Police quoted me as a witness. Mr. Hagan was out to a nice dinner with his wife, daughter, and friends. We all decided to go to the Lemon Grove afterwards. The lemon Grove is a very pleasant place to be and random acts of violence, such as this, are unusual. This whole incident happened at around 11p.m., not 1a.m. This is what I saw that night: On Saturday February 6th after attending dinner at Café Cimmentos downtown with Mr. and Mrs. Hagan and their daughter, we went to the Lemon Grove. The restaurant was crowded and there were belly dancers about to perform. An older woman was seated at a table in front of the door and stage trying to watch the belly dancers. There were people standing in front of her blocking her view and one of them was Mr. Hagan. She was complaining angrily because she could not see due to the people standing, blocking her view. Mr. Hagan said something that I don’t quite remember what it was. It was crowded and Mr. Hagan was trying to make his way through the crowd to where Mrs. Hagan, Natalia, and I were standing. On his way over a young man started to yell at Mr. Hagan for standing in front of the woman. Mr. Hagan turned and said something like there is no problem here. The young man continued to yell at him and was coming towards him. Mr. Hagan said something and then the young man punched Mr. Hagan very hard in the face causing him to fall back on the ground. Mr. Hagan was bleeding and could not recall being on the floor.
