AUSTIN, Texas (CBS Houston) — A strip club patron almost lost his eye during a brawl involving 17 strippers.

According to KXAN-TV, the fight between the strippers began in the dressing room at Hot Bodies in Austin on Oct. 26. That’s when authorities say 21-year-old Victoria Perez threw her high-heel shoe, hitting a man in the eye.

Austin police tell KVUE-TV that the tip of the heel struck the man in the left eye, leaving him with  injuries so severe that he might likely lose it.

The stripper riot was caught on surveillance video. Authorities say Perez told them that she “may have” thrown her high heel.

“In the manner of its use, the high heel shoe could have been a deadly weapon,” the affidavit stated, according to KXAN.

Perez was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She is being held on $50,000 bail.

The unidentified man has been treated and released from the hospital but he is still unable to see out of his left eye, according to media reports.
