The folks at Café Cocomo can't seem catch a break: according to the Examiner, the club on the edge of Potrero Hill and the Dogpatch was hosting a fundraising event yesterday evening when an all-out bar fight broke out, leaving five injured. What started as an argument between two lady patrons of the club, quickly escalated when an unidentified group of "vicious females" attacked peacekeepers who attempted to put a stop to the heated exchange of words.

Among the injured was the 55-year-old event organizer who "suffered a laceration to his arm" when he was knocked to the ground. The four other victims also received minor cuts in the altercation, but there seems to be some dispute as to whether or not weapons were involved: One witness says the attackers were wielding broken bottles, while the club's owner told the Entertainment Commission that bottles were not involved.

Café Cocomo rents out space for private events and recently became the subject of some media scrutiny after a shooting back in October left a patron critically injured. That incident prompted some controversial statements about Hip-hop from the Club's manager.
