Police then spoke with the victim, who said that she was inside the bar when she saw the suspect yelling and causing a disturbance. The suspect then walked outside and fell to the ground. When the victim attempted to help the suspect to her feet, the suspect stabbed her in the hand with a pen, causing a deep wound. The suspect hit a person who tried to intervene, and then attempted to run away, biting another person before fleeing the scene.
The victim said that a friend would take her to the hospital. Police searched the area for the suspect but did not locate her. The bar does have surveillance cameras.
