It appears that earlier the victim, a 50 year old Pembroke woman and the suspect, a 52 year old Pembroke woman, were involved in an argument and then a physical altercation outside the club. During the assault the victim was hit in the head with a bottle and when a female member of the public attempted to intervene, she was also struck with the bottle. The women were eventually separated by individuals at the scene and the suspect led away from the area; however, sometime later the suspect returned to the scene and assaulted the victim again, this time with a bladed article. The suspect then attempted to make good her escape but was arrested at the scene, taken to Hamilton Police Station and detained. The victim sustained cuts to her neck, left thigh and left forearm. She was taken to KEMH for treatment of her injuries and is currently in stable condition on a general ward. Inquiries into this incident are underway.
