A woman slashed a man across the face with a shattered wine glass at an upscale nightclub owned by hip-hop star Jay-Z, early Saturday morning, police say.

Lia Blount, 27, is accused of cutting 21-year-old Alejandro Corona across the right cheek during a 12:30 a.m. dispute inside the The 40/40 Club in the Flatiron Distirct, according to police.

Blount was charged with assault and released on $15,000 bond. Corona was treated at Bellevue Hospital for his injuries.
