Draw attention from/of

Two questions in one:

1.

"She dropped a glass on the floor and drew attention from/of the bartender." What is correct, from or of?

2.

Is it more correct if I use "drew THE attention from/of the bartender"?

Bonus info: She didn´t do it on purpose to get the attention as she would rather not have any attention on her if that makes any difference to how the sentence should be.

  

Top answer

Draw attention isn't a good idiom here. She dropped a glass on the floor and attracted the attention of the bartender. I drew his attention to the problem.
