OMG: Police Say the viral brawl between four women at a Las Vegas casino was over a married man
- Viral footage showed women fighting on the floor of a Las Vegas casino.
- A police report obtained by Fox News digital said the women were fighting over a married man.
- One of the woman told police said she “has been dating/sleeping with a married man.”
A wild brawl between four women on the floor of a Las Vegas casino took place over a married man, police said.
The fight between the women, captured on video in multiple pieces of footage that went viral, was over an alleged affair, according to a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department report obtained by Fox News Digital.
One piece of footage, apparently captured by a bystander, shows men trying to pull two women apart inside a casino while a third woman also tries to intervene.
One woman is pinned down on the floor by a man whose skirt has come up to reveal her underwear. She is then led away, and the footage does not show what happened to the other women. Four women were involved in the fight in total, the police report said.
Other footage shows the same woman coming towards a bystander who tried to intervene while brandishing a pink-heeled flip-flop and a woman on a mobility scooter taking part in the fight, The Daily Mail reported.
The incident took place on July 9 next to a poker tournament at the Wynn Las Vegas hotel, Fox News reported.
The police report offered new alleged details as to why the incident unfolded.
It identified the woman who was pinned on the floor as 24-year-old Danielle Pertusiello, and she told police that she was entering the bathrooms after leaving a party with her friend, 29-year-old Amanda Collado, when they were both “hit from behind by closed fists in the back of the head,” Fox News reported.
The police report said Pertusiello said she “has been dating/sleeping with a married man,” and a woman had previously caught him “cheating on her” with Pertusiello, according to Fox News.
Fox News said one of the women in the fight was the alleged wife, but it is unclear who she is in the video.
Details, including the man and his wife’s name, were redacted in the report, Fox News reported.
The police report said that surveillance footage from the casino showed a woman tapping on Pertusiello and Collados’ shoulders, and then “all four females start throwing punches at each other.” The fight ended when a security guard brought Pertusiello to the ground, Fox News reported.
Pertusiello and Collado were issued citations for disorderly conduct and were released, Fox News reported. Both women did not immediately return the outlet’s requests for comment.
