officer mathias can tell me if i am right or wrong.tly, there is a meeting scheduled for thursday this week with club malibu, on mission street. ingalls side station as reported something at this location. i have not seen the report, but they have asked that we come to the station, and they will have the club boehner and hopefully security staff there. we come the entertainment commission, and did, in fact, at issue a notice of violation tw weeks ago for sound. and we are just planning to go over this again -- two weeks ago. this will remind them of the good neighbor policy and take what ever leave the police have in making sure that they are korea mediated. an update on the citation issuance procedure. after the last meeting and show in the form, we feel pretty confident that we can begin to use that form. so we expect to use it, if we have to, obviously. it is something i do not want to use of i do not have to. mr. granelli returns on monday, and we would just go in and give it a go, and i will work with them to make sure that they k

. >> good evening, commissione ma and staff, steve mathias from central police station. have a few. it hasn't been a real busy last couple of weeks, there were some incidents that were pretty violent. sarge talked about a couple of them. and i have another report today that happened over the weekend, so i'll be adding that as well. different incidents, we had september 5 at club sphere, 447 broadway, there was a fight inside between some ladies and security removed them and when they went outside, the fight continued. so i'm going to talk to them about staging -- when the security brings somebody out, bring them out one at a time, which i think they did, but i think they need to have a better way of waiting until the aggressor or the other person is gone so we don't have a round two other incident was september 24, amendment 24, two were arrested for fighting and resisting and i'm going to read part of the narrative to give you a sense what broadway turns into on thursday, friday and saturday nights. the officer's narrative. i saw a large group of unknown individuals yel

i was actually there for that particular incident and i can say to agree with officer mathias the incident started, this guy rushed security and security was able to restrain him and literally turned him over to officers within a minute. the officers were already deployed on broadway, the incident happened and within three minutes of the actual incident occurring between security and the communication between security and police it was resolved. the guy was in handcuffs and was gone and was really well handled by both the club and p.d. they worked really well together on that particular incident and i can say that because i watched the whole thing. >> very good. >> the other incident at the club at the impala was on september 8, and the person checking i.d.'s looked down the block and saw a person actually knocked unconscious down and out and he was able to call the police and the police responded . let's see. he told me he was checking i.d.'s at the front door of the club and saw people southbound on kearney from broadway and observed the victim lying on the sidewalk bleeding from the mou

officer mathias is here, which she'll explain in more detail. you can see our little two sentences here is that there was an incident in the venue, a fight that started inside the venue and spilled out into the street. as spd actually had to shut down that 400 block of broadway, the traffic. they broke up the fight and we had two people sent to the hospital. one was a patron who was pretty badly hurt, and one was a security guard that was pretty badly hurt. i was on scene not too long after the fight had just broken up. and from the stories that we got interviewing people, patrons and staff coming out of the club, it was one of those situations where, literally to quote somebody, do you know what happened? what did you see what happened? i don't know, the guy next to me just turned and punched me in the face, so i started swinging. no one seemed to know what really started it, what was the spark that started this initial fire. but it was the whole club. it got pretty ugly. but again, the officer is here from central, so he can give you a little
