The incident took place on Sunday, when an employee of the Seniora bar set ablaze a drink known as the B-52, causing first and second degree burns to a customer sitting nearby. When the burn victim's girlfriend protested to a barwoman, the latter smashed a bottle on her face, fracturing the woman's eye socket. Both customers required hospital care.
