Overview

  • New York police arrested George and Freddy Akay on assault charges following a recorded confrontation inside their West 47th Street jewelry space.
  • Maksud Agadjani alleges AKAY Diamonds misrepresented a bracelet as 14‑karat gold that he says tested as 10‑karat and used his name to legitimize the sale.
  • Footage shows Agadjani obtaining a refund for the buyer plus an additional $1,000 before tensions boiled over into a physical fight.
  • Agadjani was treated at Bellevue Hospital and says he was choked with his own chain; police said another individual received a summons.
