Earlier this month, police released the 911 call made by the manager, was initially hesitant to tell police who the alleged victim was but did point out the person was famous.
"I just need the police to come by, I work for an artist, I don’t really want to say his name," the caller said.
The caller told the dispatcher that that victim was returning from Subway when "somebody jumped him or something like that."
During the call, the unidentified person told dispatchers, "I just think he’s startled … They put a noose around his neck ... They didn’t do anything with it, but it’s around his neck. That’s really f**ked up. Sorry for saying it like that."
