Credit Suisse Executive Fired for Causing Disturbance in New York Koreatown

[Asia Economy New York=Special Correspondent Joselgina] A senior executive of the global investment bank Credit Suisse Credit Suisse was fired after causing a disturbance at a Koreatown restaurant in New York, USA.

According to the New York Post on the 12th (local time), Roman Cambell, the head of media relations at Credit Suisse's US headquarters, entered a restaurant located in Koreatown on 32nd Street in Manhattan, New York, early on the 4th to use the restroom.

However, when the owner Jane Lee stated that the restroom was for customers only, Cambell suddenly became aggressive. He disrupted business by filming owner Lee with his phone, snatched the owner's phone, grabbed a bill from an employee, and threw it on the floor, displaying violent behavior. He then got into a physical altercation with an employee trying to stop him, hitting and pulling the employee's head. These actions were fully recorded on CCTV.

On that day, a Hispanic employee fell during the scuffle with Cambell, hitting his head and bleeding. He is reported to have suffered psychological shock from the incident. Additionally, the disturbance caused customers to leave the restaurant, severely impacting business. A restaurant official told the New York Post, "Who would want to enter a restaurant when something like that happens?"

The New York Police Department (NYPD), which responded at the time, reportedly did not arrest Cambell and left after a brief conversation. The NYPD stated that they are currently investigating the incident.

This situation became known after the owner's daughter posted videos and photos of the disturbance on Instagram. Credit Suisse fired Cambell after becoming aware of the incident through the Instagram videos. Credit Suisse stated in a press release, "We maintain a policy that does not tolerate any form of discrimination or violence."

Cambell, a Columbia University graduate, denied wrongdoing and claimed he was angry because an employee injured his thumb, but later deleted his LinkedIn profile.
