14 DAY TRIAL // Heiress and socialite Joselyn Wohl has been accused of stabbing her life coach at her Hamptons home, where she also allegedly pushed her rehab coach down a flight of stairs a year ago.
“Without just cause or provocation, Joselyn Wohl intentionally struck, battered and assaulted” 31-year-old Sajjadur Rahman, the court documents read, as obtained by the New York Post.
According to the Daily Mail, Rahman has been employed by Wohl's father, real estate attorney Larry Wohl.
The attack took place as he was having dinner, and Wohl apparently used a fork and tried to cut his face. He used his hand to defend himself and was struck with great force.
According to attorney Eric Richman, the assailant left a piece of metal lodged in one of the victim's fingers.
“It was a defensive move. If he hadn’t gotten his hand up, she would have stabbed him in the face,” Richman describes.
Rahman was originally offered a refund for his medical bills by Wohl's father, but never received the payment. Said bills amount to thousands of dollars, and he is left without a job after leaving the Wohls.
“Sajjadur lost his job because he didn’t want to go back there after that to ensure his safety,” Richman explains.
Just a few months ago, 33-year-old Joselyn was accused of choking another coach and pushing her down the concrete staircase in her mansion.
Heather McKean had been advising Wohl in matters of an unspecified substance abuse. She sued the family and Wohl was arrested for the assault six months ago.
“She was hired by the Wohls, Denise and Larry, to spend time with her daughter, who obviously had some issues. [...] One day Joselyn made up her mind she didn't want Heather around anymore and attacked her on the stairwell and yanked her down the stairs.
“I think the second incident speaks to a pattern of behavior,” says her legal counsel, Bryan Swerling.
