NEW YORK, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- A member of a New York health club says in a lawsuit that the exercise club is liable for a clash last year between two people during a spin class.
Hedge-fund manager Stuart Sugarman says in his lawsuit that the unidentified club was guilty of negligence in an August 2007 attack he endured from fellow spinner Christopher Carter, the New York Post said Wednesday.
Sugarman, 48, admitted grunting and making questionable comments during the spin class, including "You go, girl!"
The comments prompted Carter to hurl profanities at Sugarman before suddenly attacking him, the lawsuit claims.
Sugarman's suit accuses club employees of not taking action before the attack, the Post said.
It alleges "at no time prior to Carter's 'spin rage' did either of the two instructors tell plaintiff to lower his voice or curb his enthusiasm."
Carter has already been acquitted on criminal charges stemming from the incident, the Post said.
