The woman told Austin police that she was with friends at The Container Bar — located in the popular Rainey Street bar district in downtown Austin — when she felt a hand around her waist and someone "grinding" on her from behind, according to a criminal complaint filed in Travis County court on Thursday.

The woman told the man, later identified as Depolo, that he was acting inappropriately five times, she told police.

Depolo responded by berating the woman in a mocking tone and blocked the doorway, according to the complaint.

The 29-year-old then told the woman that she was "ugly" and the "dumbest b***h [he] had ever met," the complaint reads.

When the woman tried to move away from Depolo, the suspect picked up her martini glass and allegedly threw the glass at her face, the complaint says.

The woman then cried out, "My eye!"

The woman told police she then saw blackness and blood began gushing down her face.

One man told police that he approached Depolo after he allegedly attacked the woman, but Depolo kicked him in the groin, according to police.

The woman suffered a litany of injuries, including a broken nose which also suffered cuts, cuts and blunt trauma to her eye, blood in her front eye chamber, a fractured tear duct, a torn iris, ocular trauma and broken blood vessels.
