Cleveland DJ attacked while getting gas

WKYC.com (NBC Cleveland) is reporting that Cleveland DJ Brian Figula, known as “Fig” on Q104, was “assaulted and robbed” at a gas station at 150th and I-71 Monday evening.

From the story:

    His car was low on fuel, so he stopped at a gas station late Monday night. Minutes later, his life was in danger…

    Fig was at pump 2 when he noticed a man on the phone. Soon afterward, that man attacked him.

    “He actually did me like a choke hold … I tried to get away and it was pretty intense,” Figula said. “He had me going to the point where I was choking.”

    All he wanted was his keys - so he gave them up and the suspect took off in his black 2001 Grand Am.

    “He was going to kill me … that’s what he told me and I took it seriously,” Figula said.

Figula told the news channel it only took about a minute for the incident to happen, and that there were witnesses who watched the crime unfold.

“I feel violated,” Figula was quoted as saying. “I don’t feel hopeless. I just have to move on and know that there are some people out there that have issues out there and I hope this guy gets some serious help.

“What happened to a local DJ could have happened to any one of us.”
