NEW YORK — Three Canadian women have been arrested after police say they cut another woman's face during a party at an upscale Times Square hotel.
 
The Port Authority Police Department says the victim required 36 stitches after she was assaulted with a bottle and drinking glasses inside the W Hotel early Tuesday.
 
The victim followed the suspects to the Lincoln Tunnel and told a Port Authority officer that they had assaulted her.
 
The three women were arrested on charges of assault, gang assault and weapon possession.
 
They were identified as 35-year-old Monique Boakye-Yiadom, 26-year-old Aleesha Williams and 30-year-old Amy Walker — all are from Ontario.
 
It wasn't known if they had attorneys who could comment on the charges.
 
The hotel's general manager did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
