Police say a 52-year-old woman was attacked on her first day as an exotic dancer by a jealous co-worker wielding a stiletto heel.

Police in Ohio said the woman was assaulted by a co-worker who didn't think the club needed more dancers.

It is alleged one of the dancers took her stiletto and repeatedly struck the woman in the face as she walked into the basement dressing room.

The woman was treated at a hospital and received seven staples.

She has declined to press charges against her attacker.

Police said the woman took the job because she needed the extra money.

She has refused to talk to police about what happened.

Akron police Lt. Rick Edwards said Friday was her first day on the job.

"The other girls were upset she was there and said 'We don't need any more dancers around here," he said.
