Iowa City Police: Coralville Woman Hit Female Victim in Face with Cocktail Glass at Blue Moose

A Coralville woman has been charged with felony assault for allegedly assaulting another woman with her fists and a cocktail glass on Saturday evening.

According to an Iowa City Police Complaint, officers were called to the scene of a fight at Blue Moose Tap house at 211 Iowa Avenue at 9:25 p.m. Saturday evening, hearing that there was a female victim bleeding from the face as a result of the fight.

Police who interviewed witnesses at the scene determined that Sydney Eryn Votroubek, 20, of Coralville had been attending a concert when a woman bumped into her, according to the complaint.

Votroubek, agitated by being bumped, insulted the woman and her friend, which led the woman to push her into a trash can. Votroubek then allegedly retaliated by hitting the woman in the face with a cocktail glass, then reportedly continued to punch the woman and pull her hair while she was on the ground until bar staff pulled her off of the woman.

The woman as a result had severe swelling to her face as well as serious lacerations to her face and chest, which required stitches, according to the complaint. Votroubek had cuts on her hand from the glass breaking, she told police.

Votroubek was classed with willful causing of a serious injury, a Class C felony. She was booked into the Johnson County Jail on $25,000 cash or surety bond.

Online jail records show Votroubek was charged and released from jail this morning.
