MANHATTAN — A trio of Canadian women beat another woman with bottle and drinking glasses during a party at Times Square's W Hotel Sunday night, police said.

The Canadian friends — Monique Boakye-Yiadom, 35, Aleesha Williams, 26 and Amy Walker, 30 — were at a party in the hotel at 1567 Broadway, near West 47th Street, Port Authority police said.

At some point, the Ontario trio attacked a 35-year-old woman from Stamford, Ct., — whom they didn't know — hitting her with a bottle and drinking glasses, police said.

The victim suffered facial wounds and received 36 stitches at Bellevue Hospital, police said.

She then returned to the hotel and spotted the women in their Chrysler with Ontario plates, Port Authority police said.

They headed toward the Lincoln Tunnel, with the Connecticut woman trailing behind, police said.

At the tunnel, the victim told Port Authority Police Officer Dan DeVirgilio about the attack and directed them to their vehicle where he arrested the trio at about 12:30 a.m. Monday, police said.

They faced charges of gang assault, assault and criminal possession of a weapon, police said.

Their vehicle was impounded, police said.
