The NYPD has shut down the nightclub where singer Chris Brown and hip-hop star Drake's entourage got into a heated bottle-throwing melee.
The W.i.P club in SoHo was shut down because of code violations according to police.
Brown, his girlfriend and his bodyguard were among the eight injured in the brawl that escalated when bottles were thrown.
One of those also injured was San Antonio Spurs basketball player Tony Parker who suffered a scratched retina during the brawl.
A model that was among the injured, spoke to the New York Post and said Drake's entourage started the fight with Brown.
21-year-old Ingrid Gutierrez needed five staples to the head to close a huge gash. That's what this beautiful Brooklyn model received thanks to the bloody bar brawl that involved Chris Brown and Drake.
The SoHo hot spot, along with the Club Greenhouse next door were shut down last night by the NYPD over code violations.
"She doesn't blame Drake or Brown for what happened. She just wants justice for what happened to her," said Gutierrez' Attorney Sal Strazzulo.
The Post is reporting that Drake will soon receive a reckless endangerment summons because a witness told cops that Drake flung a bottle during the early Thursday morning melee.
"The bottle thrown from Drakes' table was a reckless endangerment summons at W.i.P. nightclub," said Strazzulo. "After what happened to her and the injury she suffered, the club should be responsible for."
Brown along with several other clubgoers was also hurt by flying glass. The fight reportedly began over the singers' mutual ex, pop star Rihanna.
"I think it was silly to fight over Rihanna," said one passerby near the club.
Another passerby added, "The girl (Gutierrez) who got the stitches is probably going to make a lot of money."
That remains to be seen but several lawsuits are pending. Meantime both clubs have been shut down indefinitely.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn is talking about changing the bottle service policies at all New York City clubs to prevent something like this from happening again.
"This (the club) brings a lot of revenue to the neighborhood, it's a big loss to SoHo," said one resident.
