Exum’s lawyer said the victim “disclosed to me he was not stabbed” and needed only a few stitches, according to the Daily News.
The Post reported that Pajulas suffered wounds to his back and arm. The Daily News said Pajulas’s real name is Frances Amor. He “staggered into the lobby of Exum’s luxury Hudson Yards apartment, where a doorman noticed he was bleeding” and called 911, the Daily News reported.
Against prosecutors’ recommendations, Exum was released without bail, according to the Post, though a restraining order prohibits contact with the victim. The Daily News reported that the judge cited her lack of criminal record in releasing her, and her next court date is December 1.
