A 52-year-old woman who took a job as an exotic dancer to help make ends meet was attacked on her first day by a jealous co-worker armed with a stiletto shoe, police said.
The altercation occurred Friday night at Club 1245 at 1245 E. Tallmadge Ave., according to Akron police.
The victim received multiple cuts to her face that were treated at a local hospital with seven staples, police said. She has refused to discuss the incident with detectives.
Police said the victim needed extra money and got the job with the help of a friend. Friday was her first day, and as she walked into the basement dressing room, she was attacked by a co-worker armed with the shoe, police said.
''The other girls were upset she was there and said, 'We don't need any more dancers around here,' '' Akron police Lt. Rick Edwards said.
A dancer then took her high-heeled shoe and began striking the rookie stripper in the face, police said. The victim was taken to Akron General Medical Center, where nurses contacted police.
The victim left the emergency room before police arrived. Edwards said the dancer did not want to make a report. However, hospital officials are obligated under Ohio law to report the assault.
The suspect is described only as a black female in her late 40s.

Was the attacker from Iraq?
A 52 year old stripper??? Man, I hope it's dark in there. I would have paid an extra dollar to see that show!
No wonder the other girls were upset - a 52 year old would have lots of extra places to tuck those bills.
Hmmm...the attacker was in her late 40's...the victim was in her 50's. Doesn't sound like the kind of strip club that would do well.
what kind of club is this? lol. maybe when i'm in my 40s or 50s ill go there to make an extra buck
the old cat had some claws!
Injuries resulting from shoes in stip clubs in Akron seem to be almost common these days. Just a few months ago a guy sued XTC because a stripper's shoe few off and hit him in the head. That story made the national media.
Prune juice must be the main beverage of choice!
40 and 50 yr old women working in a strip club? How sad and sick.
I'm guessing the 52 year old looks pretty hot, and that upset the other gals.
Hope she's okay.
@ connelly, you're right I know some pretty decent looking older women 40-50ish, but it would take alot of talking to get them to strip in public in a string bikini!!
You have to show your Golden Buckeye card at the door.
I really would liked to see a mugshot of a 40-something stripper who feels her money is threatened by 52 year old stripper. She's got to be a beauty!
So when do the strippers start commenting about how mean we're being and that the 40-something is a really nice lady who is just trying to make some money...and if they do would they please use their own picture for the avatar so we can get a look at these classy ladies?
I can see it now, a bunch of geezers fumbling around for quarters in their change purses. "Honey, where can I put this?"
...Yeeccchhhh....pretty much sums it up....
What does that say about the the late 40 yr old female. . .must be pretty ugly to be jealous of someone 52.
If Madonna and Cher can still make a buck, this old babe has a right, as well. By the way, ageism sucks. It's no different than racism or any other kind of ism.
Old people shave a right to cop a buzz and try to get a lift without Viagra. Why not? They're still alive.

This forum needs and edit function.......BAD.
Here's a saying for ya, Ugly as a mud fence after a wet T shirt contest on a cold night.
@ miss claws, they'll just say they do it to feed the kids.
Boy oh Boy you guys are a mess if there hired her she most have looked good there are some nice looking 50,60 years old that look young.
I hope she alright. Bless her Soul.
you are right,noodles.just because a woman is 50 or above,does not mean she looks old or ugly.a lot of women improve looks as they age.i do think its sad that at this age ,women are forced to do this kind of work,just to make ends meet. however if money gets any tighter,here,perhaps i should consider a new job.lolol.ps-iam 59 years young!!!!
See You Can Teach An Old Dog New Tricks
Sounds like Grump's kind of place.
I also wonder why the 52-year-old didn't wanna report or talk about the incident. We need Paul Harvey back to get the rest of the story here.
RightNow,
"I also wonder why the 52-year-old didn't wanna report or talk about the incident."
I figure out why, she didn't want her grandma to know that she took her job.
only one gandma per club i guess
Probably was a domestic when she came home with no money!
@TruthPatrol: It is grumps place.
Strippers need a bailout!
I do not frequent these types of establishments, but if I did and I walked in and seen a 52 year old white woman and a 40 black woman shaking their business and swinging from a pole, I would no doubt throw up, demand my cover charge back and go home to my beautiful wife!!!!
@ Arf....LMMFAO!!!!!!
Without any leagal recourse available, I would gather as many friends as possible and go BARK at Ms. 40something while onstage. Beating up the manager might have been justified, but beating up the new "girl" was unforgivable.
we want pictures.
That girl has a right to strip. . . .& I have a right to watch & enjoy her. .C'Mon. . .
Wonder if any lawyers will contact the 52 year old to represent her on her workers comp case for an unsafe work environment????
This is on Tallmadge ave where i grew up. Its a all hood area now. Police sit at Wing Warehouse because its all hood and trouble breaks out there all the time. Between that place "The Club" and Jens Den its all just a bunch of prostitution ran outta there anyway. Crack head infested strippers then u got XTC and the other strip club across from The Club. Tallmadge Ave is going down hill.....
"Tallmadge Ave is going down hill....."
Well, that's true if you're going from Brittain Rd. to the railroad tracks.
If you're going the other direction...it's all uphill. I just checked and this is true.
Those paisley pants turned out to be vericose veins!!
Sounds like a South Park episode.
@Thug Spanker
you're killin me!!
whats funny is all you guys would look at any women givin a chance,no matter what her age is she didnt deserve that....violence everywhere great country this is......
wow granny striping. does the pole come with a walker. wow whats that purfume... moth balls
Pudge,
Your mistaken. Friday's are GMILF Day at 1245!
I guess this would be expected behavior from "cougars", eh?
;0)
Its good to see the write-in crowd doesn't argue over everything and can have a laugh once in a while!
And yes. I want to see pictures too.
@ bergermeister LMAO all of us posting are not being mean just honest
she's just trying to work her way through college...
I know a lot of 50 year women that look better than fat a** young ones. If you don't believe me check the aisle (one way) if they are in them.
At WALLMART.
There is a lot of 50 year old women in better shape than the young Big Bertha's shopping at WALMART.
I am CTFU over here at some of these responses. Elderly people want to enjoy themselves too.
Cougarlicious cat fight. Meow. Bring on the pics!
I told my mom that I would wire her some money....
Sounds like those chicks just don't want to SPREAD the wealth!
@gnaughty...52 Is not elderly!!!
MOM!!! Do that at home!!!
Cougarliscous, ha.
Seriously, there's lots of girls over 50 and totally cute.
Is there such thing as a nice dancer place?
If there was just some regular easy going bar, that happened to also have cute dancers, I'd go.
Those black ladies are meaner than a junkyard dog if you mess with their money or their man.
WE WANT PICTURES !!
@ niteowl26, you ain't wrong there, these younguns with their bellies and naval jewelry hanging out over the top of their jeans thinking "I'm HOT" now thats scary rifgt there LMAOROTF
Shook me up thinking about it I couldn't even spell right...
this is just so funny i can't even come up with a good joke. the story does it for me. It is pretty sad that both the 40 & 52 year old women have to resort to stripping. ew.
@ connelly- the old Rubber Bowl Lounge- good dancers- great lunches- on Triplett Blvd- way back when
I've seen some pretty scary looking heels - wonder how pointed this one was. Sounds like it did some serious damage - needed staples?
I'd like to say there is a better way for them to make good money, but maybe not in this economy. I used to know a bouncer who told me the kind of money dancers make and I was stunned. LOL - still wouldn't do it unless I was SERIOUSLY desparate.
I just saw the story on TV. She looks great for her age, I'm not sure how much cash she would make- except for maybe the "cougar chasers".
I've seen ALOT worse looking strippers than her.
You gotta make a buck anyway you can these days...
HEY THEY HAD TO DO SOMETHING THEIR 401K WENT DOWN FASTER THAN THEY DO.
That place is low class and so are the strippers who work there.
And, they don't get paid in those places. They work for tips. At some places the dancers pay to work there. So, of course the owner will hire anyone. Especially if they are paying to work there. More money in his pocket.
Sounds like a Jerry Springer episode...
and yes there are some nice looking 52 yr old ladies out there, but my guess is shes not much of a lady with any class, and probably looks like shes been rode hard and put away wet...LOL
How much respect can you have for a woman who chooses this career, it wont be for your eyes only when all the community has been there & seen that.

Some Of Your Guys Girls If They Had As Many Stuck Out As They Had Stuck In They Would Look Like Porcupines.
wonder what music she strips to-buddy holly?
Ew, ew, and ughh. Talk about loose women. Ew. And a shoe? I mean what respectable black woman doesn't carry a box cutter? Ew.
Pale Horseman is so correct. This fight is about money not age of dancers. This is a sign of bad times. To many strippers not enough money to go around. This is what is happening in our country with all the illegal's comming in and taking "our" jobs. This looks like the stripper didnt like all the workers taking her money and she did something about it.
Is this why we dont have higher wages in the regular job market, the government keeps flooding the job market with people from other countries? The old supply and demand deal!
TruthPatrol - A good white Christian man like myself does not visit Stripper Bars. They're for losers and perverts like yourself !!!
OMG PUDGIE YOUR MOM GOT HIT WITH A SHOE...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,,,,IS THAT WHY YOUR CALLED PUDGIE JR....AND SHE IS PUDGIE SR........HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
This is so funny and so sad at the same time!
I heard she's going to start a 50 escort service...
I know a few over 50 that could use some money.
http://www.19actionnews.com/Global/story.asp?S=10214483
19 action news has a video interview.
You can't make this stuff up.
Geriatric strip club ? I don't care how cute she looks in the face ,gravity does funny things to the rest of your body if you get my drift .I don't frequent these places but my guess would be this club falls on the lower end of these establishments.
But I'm sure this story will make all the fox news stations since they seem to spend most of their time on broadcasts about american idol and trash like this .
why werent the names given? had it been men the names would have been posted for sure!!!
they should also post the name of the club for saftey reasons......one might enter by mistake and see 50 yr olds and be scarred for life!
Maybe a tax break for the top 10% would help.
This wouldn't happen in St. Olaf..........
cheese and rice; talk about gummy bares
yep that sounds like i'd want a lap dance
I bet if either got pregnant and breastfed their babies, they'd give non fat dried milk
Just tuggin' your chain, Grumpster. I don't frequent those bars either. Thanks to a court order.
LOL.
I saw the Action 19 video interview. So, Beautiful wasn't acting that beautiful! I want to hear her side of the story! and how she could ever feel threatened by a 50 yr old ex-stripper grandma !!!!
Where is my post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I too just saw the store on Channel 19 news. This story leaves you sort of speechless. Oh please, this is the only way she could make money? Does anyone really believe that? As they say, there is no shortage of white trash.
Well, like the commenter on the 19 site said, at least she was tryin' to stay off welfare.
You know, there are plenty of gorgeous women over 50. Heck over 70, if you're talkin' Sophia Loren. Unfortunately, the stiletto vic isn't one of 'em.
Buy an Elmo suit and work kids' parties. Chances are, Big Bird won't peck your noggin.
Wow, so hot or good at it that someone beats ya with a shoe. Hilarious
If the shoe fits.....
@Sassy: "How much respect can you have for a woman who chooses this career ..."
Enough to appreciate what must have been a difficult decision on her part to go out and try to earn a living in a socially unacceptable workplace versus easily hopping onto the welfare roles.
Other woman do similarly distasteful things ... like intentionally getting pregnant to snag a boyfriend, or marrying soley for the money or for the nice house in suburbia.
Hey Wadstucky Gary, Isn't that what your mommy said "Just needed money to buy me the pole?" and some extra teeth. You and Billy-bob and Ol' Joe (I mean one of your daddies) gots tired of lookin at her gapin hole?
Gary I thought it was your mommy we were talking about with bleached blond fake hair!!
@ Gary I heard Desirees won't let you or her back in because you kept taking all her time on the pole, only you learned to ride it backwards.
That girl picked the wrong profession. It was a message from God that she was working in the devil's work shop. There should be some positive results from the incident. I hope.
So many, so many, so many souls lost in such places.
@pudge1 and gary: would you two children take it somewhere else? It is really getting old, especially pudge, seeing 4 or 5 posts in a row saying the same thing. Plus you do it on almost every story.
Did you check this lady's rap sheet?
Felonious assault w/weapon in 1998, guilty plea to soliciting in 2006. No wondeer she didn't call the police.
@ miss claws I am sorry for acting a fool but everytime I've seen this yahoo putting people down it just p*sses me off that you can't give an opinion unless its theirs Have agood post!!
HEY Gary you're right i'll alway be trudgin or pudging for fun HAVE A GREAT HAIRCUT ALL 3 OF THEM
HAHAHA
Man, it is REALLY a tough job market out there!!!
The hook-er who beat her with the platform shoe was a 48 year old black woman stage named Beautiful. I don't care where you are from that's some funny stuff.
I wonder if the 52 year old hook-er made any tips before she retired...beside from old man grump of course.
Sorry pudgie1, I just saw more of gary under some other stories. He's the idiot. I wish there was a mute button so I would not have to see his posts.
@ miss claws I really do love to read ALL comments I've learned alot over the last few months by reading everyones (including yours) comments aned I respect these comments even if I don't always agree, but to get nasty about it is as you said childish. Like I said before "Hit me and I'll hit back twice as hard!!)
Se you around the news ;) Love your Kitty
there isn't a part of this story i don't love.
god bless akron!
Wow, one stripper in her late 40s attacks the newly hired 52 year old stripper. Who goes to this place, 80 year old men? I'm not saying a woman of that age cannot be attractive, but does this place feature only older strippers? Or was it the blue plate special?
Scootyboy....are you being a little defensive?
your probably the boy who is entertained
by these tastless woman, apples dont fall
far from the tree.
just for the record, I'm not bashing on strippers there are some upscale strip clubs I have been to and some girls are beautiful, dont take me wrong but this story is for the comedy club.
NotinAkron, poor thing didn't even get to STRUT HER STUFF to collect any crumbs, must be a tough bunch at the Club, don't know if I'd go in there, libel to get beat up if you don't tip enough !! or rolled in the parking lot !! If you check out Fox8 news at the beginning of this thread, watch the guy coming out the door, looks like he's checking to see if anyone sees him LMAO
I'm not the type of person who patrons stripclubs. I am, however, the type of person who would patron a stripclub if I knew I got to see 2 old ladies fight each other with shoes.
But that's just me.
@seamus8, isn't that called jello wrestling, I don't think you have to tip to see that!!
I saw the 52 year old on the news, she looks older than my 80yr old mother. Maybe Avon or Mary Kay would better suit her.
I didn't know Dr. Scholls made a stiletto line.
Thank Goodness for FOUNDATION "Crack Filler" MAKE-UP and Clairol "I'm really not that old" Hair coloring for older women.
Hmmm. Here's some 50 old hags for ya's:

Kim Cattreall
Michelle Pfeiffer
Come claw me to death, you cougars!
1. I am just AMAZED
2. Strip clubs are dirty and nasty
3. IF YOU LAY WITH DOGS, YOU WAKE UP WITH FLEAS.
Instead of oil the strippers grease up with BENGAY!
Guess ol' Ed Sullivan would call Beautiful's act
"a real shoe-stopper".
"Really big shoe!"
I suggest Obama hire the shoe wielding stripper as secretary of labor. She knows what the proble be.
Big Shoe for Secretary of Labor !
Why David, don't you like the over-the-hill"ary" secretary we have now? She fought for her guy too, when Bill started chasin' that fugly intern.....ha ha...
i forwarded this to the Drudge Report; let's see if it goes national
Can we just level Tallmadge Ave and start all over? Such a disgrace now. I saw two of those girls walking up Tallmadge Ave last week dressed in stripper shoes and nasty clothes. I think they were walking up to Arby's to get themselves a delicious roast beef sandwich with extra horsey sauce. Yuck!
How dare these women do this! This woman was just tryin to make ends meet. Its hard out here for every1, and the others should see it as just that.
well it sounds like there is more to this then anybody is saying. but I think as far as a dancer age she might have been a good looking female and the other dancers could not handle it. I danced years ago in akron and i made a good living and so did my sister we never had problems with other dancers we might not have cared for some of the others but we had class. ( it was in the 70's )
Stacie..Hilary is secretary of State... not secretary of labor. And she doesnt have the brains to figure out anything.
WOW,,,,just saw the interview on 19 news.......what an ugly broad!!! Looks like she fell out of the ugly tree and hot every branch on the way down!!! sure hope its dark in the club
No surprise coming from that place or any Akron scank club. They will take anything breathing. Blow up the strip clubs on that block!
I watched fox 8 and that was just unreal,that this happen in the fist place I hope that APD. fines this person and that they do not just give her a smack on the wrist. she should get jail time. there is no call for something like this maybe she should have to get a real job since she dose not know how to act. If she can not fine one let her probation offier fined her one,to pay the other ladies hospital bills. She should not have to pay them.
These stripper bars should have a shoe fight between these two ladies on a select Saturday night and charge $15 a ticket.
@Silverain
"I watched fox 8 and that was just unreal,that this happen in the fist place ..."
Freudian slip?
just viewed the news she looks like a beat down rough version of blondie.
Some of these comments sure made my day. I laughed so hard my coffee went through my nose!
So is that senior citizen day that they dance. Do they get a discount if they show their Buckeye cards? lol Funny how the strippers names are protected but somebody else they just type their names in every story. NICE!
SILVERAIN - Go back to school. Spelling, punctuation and complete sentences are a must in today's work force.
THEY still haven't found BEAUTIFUL yet, AND now for the REST OF THE STORY!! GO ABJ, oh that's Paul Harvey sorry.
This is NOT news anymore!!!! Can we take it off here please?? These girls are morons, over a couple bucks..... Club 1245 doesn't make that much so please lets find something else to read and write about!!!
