TORONTO

Toronto Police are crediting the public for helping to identity a woman wanted in a vicious bottle attack at a Yorkville nightclub.

Police were called to Club V in the city’s posh Bloor St.-Avenue Rd. area around 1:45 a.m. on Jan. 1, after a 27-year-old female patron suffered serious eye and facial injuries from a flying bottle allegedly thrown by another woman.

Police released photos of a suspect on Friday, and say the public helped lead investigators to the alleged attacker.

The suspect and the victim were part of two separate groups of friends who arrived at the nightclub shortly before midnight, police alleged.

There was some sort of altercation in a washroom before the assault took place, according to investigators.

Toronto Police Const. Victor Kwong said on Friday that “words were exchanged but it was broken up before it got physical.”

It would be later that night that the victim was hit in the face by a bottle thrown “deliberately” by a woman at the club, alleged Kwong.

Vanessa Irish, 28, is charged with assault with a weapon and due to appear in a College Park courtroom on April 7.
