Just When You Think You've Heard it All - Luxury Agent Bites Child in a T-Shirt Grab

A New York City-based luxury real estate agent was arrested last week after allegedly biting a 7-year-old girl during a free T-shirt giveaway at a Hamptons concert.

But Gail Bomze, who is an agent with Compass, denied the allegations and says that she herself was a victim at the summer concert series that seems to have gotten out of hand.

According to an arrest report first reported on by Page Six, during the free Tuesdays on Main beach concert in East Hampton on Tuesday, Bomze was seen “kicking and punching kids” while fighting for a T-shirt tossed by staff from a balcony. A girl reported to police that the woman “grabbed her right arm and bit [it],” which allegedly broke the skin and drew blood.

This year marks the fourth year that the free summer concert series, which is put on by the East Hampton Village Foundation and other sponsors, has taken place. According to the event’s website, attendance each week ranges from around 2,000 to 5,000 people, with police, fire and EMS personnel staffing the event.

East Village Foundation CEO and Chairman Bradford Billet told Page Six, “Tuesdays at Main has been a beloved, safe and family-friendly concert series for more than five seasons, bringing together people of all ages without a single prior incident. We strongly condemn this alleged, isolated incident.

“The safety, security and enjoyment of our residents and visitors are our highest priority, and we remain committed to ensuring these concerts continue as a safe, welcoming community tradition for all.”

Some of Bomze’s noteworthy sales in the past have included a $19.55 million sale of a home on Park Avenue in Lenox Hill and the $14.5 million sale of a home on East 64th Street in Lenox Hill.
