In a state­ment, the busi­ness said it was deeply sad­dened by the in­ci­dent and re­gret­ted the fear and dis­tress ex­pe­ri­enced by the cus­tomer.

“Our hearts go out to her. We sin­cere­ly re­gret the fear and dis­tress she ex­pe­ri­enced while vis­it­ing Adam’s. Thank­ful­ly, she was not phys­i­cal­ly in­jured, and our team im­me­di­ate­ly at­tend­ed to her and of­fered sup­port,” the state­ment said.

The busi­ness said it was tak­ing se­ri­ous mea­sures to in­crease se­cu­ri­ty on the com­pound to pre­vent a re­cur­rence.

“Your safe­ty, well-be­ing and trust mean every­thing to us,” it said, adding that it re­mained com­mit­ted to mak­ing Adam’s a place where every­one felt safe, com­fort­able and wel­come.
