That's when Alfa allegedly grabbed the broken green bottle and went on a vicious attack, slashing the man in the head before turning on the twins. The victims ended up with serious injuries. One sister needed staples for deep head cuts and had bruising under her eye, while the other got a bad hand. Slash requiring stitches and upcoming
