NEW YORK, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- A patron says she is suing a New York City concert hall because staff would not let her use the bathroom, even though she was 35 weeks pregnant.

Lindsay Ekizian of Long Island, N.Y., says the building supervisor at the Hammerstein Ballroom told her, "There's a bathroom at the end of the block," as she left a comedy show last October, the New York Post reported.


Management did not care that Ekizian had a baby pressing on her bladder and was desperate to use the ladies' room, a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit filed last week said.

By the time she made it to a nearby diner, it was too late. She blames Hammerstein management for the humiliation of wetting her pants.

The Hammerstein Ballroom did not return calls for comment, the Post said.
