HIALEAH, Fla. – A 21-year-old woman, Yosnaydis Torres-Tosca, has been arrested nearly a month after she allegedly attacked another woman with a glass bottle at a nightclub in Hialeah.
The altercation took place in the early hours of Feb. 9 at Playpen 2, a Latin entertainment nightclub located at 3890 NW 36th St. According to the Hialeah Police Department, Torres-Tosca and the victim, who are acquaintances, got into a physical fight that resulted in serious injuries.

Five stitches to her head
