Man Beaten For Taking Too Long In Bagel Shop Bathroom

090609bagel.jpg For anyone accustomed to bringing some reading material along for a leisurely bathroom visit, here's one to grow on: According to the Post, a man was beaten up Friday night by three other young men furious about his lengthy occupation of the restroom at a Greenwich Village bagel shop. When 23-year-old Zaaven Castelan finally abdicated the throne at Giant Bagels on University Place at 10 p.m. Friday, he found three "pissed-off" perps waiting. Police identified them as Osman Jalloh, 19, Mohamed Sow, 21, and Amadou Diallo, 21. Cops say the three pummeled Castelan when he exited the bathroom, and ran; they were apprehended soon after the incident. Reached by phone, an employee at Giant Bagels insisted he knew nothing about the incident, but added that only works during the day.

yeah, I heard they beat the shit out of him. I'm here all week.

GTFOH!!! One of them was Amadou Diallo?? Guess he's STILL pissed about being shot repeatedly!! Festering Anger from a Dead Immigrant in the Bowels of New York!! LOVE IT!!

Thanks. I guess I'm the only other one old enough to remember.

Mohamed Sow? Must be one of those tolerant muslims I keep hearing so much about.

Of course they'll tell the Judge "we only meant to scare him"'

Gotta love the diversity of this story.

...not only did he take too long, he used all the toilet paper.

Dear lord, that could have been me! Solidarity for my long pooping brothers.

Wait - they beat him for taking too long and then ran off WITHOUT using the bathroom? Where's the sense in that? Did they later lay down some cable while handcuffed in the back of a squad car?

More teenage/underage thugs. Anyone under 21 in this city after dark should be shot on sight.

Giant Bagel Shop has a bathroom? and someone dared to use it? Dang, people, the public restrooms at Whole Foods must be much better. And if that fails just hold it til you make a mad dash across the park to Barnes & Nobles.

Actually they're not that much better. People in this country don't seem to know how to how to use a bathroom properly.

I seriously doubt any of those patrons actually ate a Giant Bagel: they'd be stopped up for days...

We really shamed on such type of incident.Anyways may be there was some right reason to beat that guy..
