FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A Michigan man has been arrested after he allegedly threw a drink on a woman in the Downtown Entertainment district in Fort Lauderdale and then attacked several men who tried to defend her with a Grey Goose bottle, authorities said.
According to an arrest warrant, the incident happened March 8.
Fort Lauderdale police said officers working in the area were alerted about a possible altercation and a man who was bleeding from the head.
Police said the officers then made contact with two men, one of whom was “bleeding profusely from his head and was covered in blood,” and the other who had a cut to his left arm.
According to the warrant, one of the victims told officers that a man had purposefully poured liquor on a woman so he and his friends tried to intervene on her behalf.
The victim said the suspect, later identified by police as Alex Elhaouli, of Garden City, Michigan, struck his friend over the head with a Grey Goose bottle, causing the glass bottle to shatter and cause severe lacerations to the victim.
According to the warrant, Elhaouli sliced the other man on the left forearm with the bottle, causing a deep cut.
Both victims were transported to Broward Health Medical Center, where they received stitches.
A third victim approached an officer a short time later and said he was also cut by the glass bottle on his chest, authorities said. That victim went to the hospital on his own, where he also received stitches, police confirmed.
Police said a fourth victim sustained a small cut to his neck, but did not require medical attention.
Elhaouli was arrested Sunday on three counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
Elhaouli was not appearing in the online Broward jail database on Tuesday.
