Boston Police report arresting a woman for slicing up another woman at a bar Friday night, reportedly in a dispute over a crack-cocaine purchase.

Gina Otey, 39, was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and possession of crack cocaine following the 9:45 p.m. incident at the Shirley Bar, 187 Norfolk Ave. Police say she came to the bar with at least two knives, one of which she proceeded to use on the victim, who fled the bar with a stab wound to the hand before police arrived. Otey allegedly told officers she was forced to whip out the knife because she was short-changed during the purchase.

Innocent, etc.
