Three New York women were arrested for attacking a man at a Hudson Valley bar, beating him with their shoes because he refused to buy one of them a drink. Entitled much? 

The incident took place during the early hours of Tuesday morning at Emily's Bar & Grill, which is located in Newburgh. According to the Times-Herald Record, one of the shoe-wielding assailants called police and claimed that the man punched one of them in the face. However, a quick investigation revealed that the women—Mariela Dela Cruz, 25; Yomaira Brito-Santiago, 24 and Elizabeth Condor, 19—had actually initiated the conflict by punching the man in the face.

While the angry trio attacked, 45-year-old Donald Atkinson—the bar's bouncer—reportedly joined them, pounding the man until he was left with one eye bleeding and the other swollen shut. All three women and Atkinson have been charged with felony gang assault.
