In a dimly lit bar, tensions escalated as witnesses recounted a troubling incident involving a patron's inappropriate behavior towards a woman. The scene unfolded when a man, later identified as Mr. Steffek, was observed lifting his shirt and making suggestive comments directed at a female patron who appeared to be alone.

As the situation progressed, the woman expressed her discomfort, repeatedly telling Mr. Steffek to stop. Witnesses noted that despite her clear objections, he continued to harass her, urging her to come closer and even making explicit propositions. One witness, concerned for the woman's safety, attempted to intervene by ordering drinks, hoping to distract Mr. Steffek and provide the woman an opportunity to leave. However, the man ignored the request and persisted in his advances.
