A bay area women is living to tell about an attack on her Google Glass connected eyewear Friday CBS television affiliate in San Francisco KPIX reported Tuesday.
Sarah Slocum was at Molotov's on Haight Street in San Francisco in Friday when a man tore the device from her face after she was demonstrating how it worked to another person. Two women approached her and then the man took the gadget from her face, along with her phone, and purse.
"OMG so you'll never believe this but... I got verbally and physically assaulted and robbed last night in the city, had things thrown at me because of some *** Google Glass haters ..." Slocum said in a post on her Facebook page.
Things turned ugly following Slocum's non-eventful demonstration of the product when other patrons became unhappy that Slocum might be recording them using the device.
"The crowd was jeering as any last call crowd would do with a fight outside of a bar," Brian Lester a witness of the incident told KPIX. "She was running around very excited ... and people were telling her, 'you're being an *** take those glasses off."
Lester reportedly saw a man offend Slocum, and a man with Slocum fought back with his fists KPIX reported.
"I think everybody was just upset that she would be recording outside of a bar this late with obvious embarrassing behavior going on," Lester told KPIX. "And just rather insulted that someone thinks it's okay to record them the entire time they're in public."
"You know, the crowd at Molotov's is not a tech-oriented crowd for the most part," the bartender of Molotovs, known only as Brian told KPIX. "It's probably one of the more punk rock bars in the city. So you know, it's not really Google Glass country," Brian told KPIX"
The Google Glass was found after the incident, but the phone and purse was not.
