According to their arrest reports, the incident occurred around 12:30 a.m. at The Studio, located at 652 NE Second Ave.

Miami police said video from the establishment shows the victim speaking with a man when Samantha Davis, 33, of Miami, suddenly sits down in the seat that’s directly behind her.

Police said a fight then ensued between the two women, and Jasmine Paisley joined in, also hitting the victim.

According to the reports, as the trio were separated, the video shows a 2-3 inch-long laceration on the victim’s mid-back area.

Police said Davis approached the victim once again and continued to strike her.

Paisley, 24, of Miramar, then struck the victim multiple times after the victim and Davis were separated by security, the reports stated.

According to police, the victim told officers that prior to the fight, Davis had told her to get up from her seat and told her she “was going to get beat up” if she didn’t.

The reports state that an officer who was working an off-duty detail was flagged down after the fight and stabbing.

Police said the officer located the victim who pointed out Davis and Paisley to him.

The officer then escorted the women out of the lounge and told them to sit on a bench and not to move as he tended to the victim’s injuries, authorities said.

But, according to the report, the women tried to run away before being detained by officers.

Davis was arrested on charges of aggravated battery and resisting an officer without violence, while Paisley was arrested on charges of battery and resisting an officer without violence.

As of Friday morning, they were both being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

Paisley was being held on a $1,500 bond, while Davis’ bond was listed in online jail records as “to be set.”
