A SUSPECTED prostitute was arrested after assaulting her rival with an empty bottle in the stomach and several times on the head for stepping on her client's foot at a Bulawayo night club.
Sifikile Baloyi, 30, of Pumula East appeared before Bulawayo magistrate, Marylin Mtshina charged with assault.
She was not asked to plead and remanded out of custody to April 16 on $100 bail.
It is alleged Cleopatra Ncube, who was severely assaulted by Baloyi, almost lost her front row teeth as they were left loose.
The state's case as presented by Taurayi Hondoyemoto is that on April 6, this year at around 12AM, Baloyi was at Waverley night club located at corner Lobengula Street and 13th Avenue in the city centre.
Hondoyemoto told the court that Baloyi was sitting with an unidentified man.
"When Ncube was passing by, she accidentally stepped on the man's foot," he said.
The court heard that Baloyi started insulting Ncube before assaulting her once on the stomach with an empty bottle.
Hondoyemoto said Baloyi assaulted Ncube several times on the head with fists.
He told the court that Ncube managed to run away but Baloyi followed her outside the club.
"While outside she continued assaulting the complainant until she sustained injuries on the left breast," said Hondoyemoto.
The court heard that Ncube also sustained bruises on her upper lip and neck.
"Due to the assault, Ncube's two front teeth are loose," said Hondoyemoto.
