A beauty queen has been accused of stabbing a love rival outside a nightclub.
Katia Hoffmann allegedly became embroiled in a row with fellow clubber Ignacia Méndez inside the venue over a man.
They took the argument outside where it allegedly turned violent.

Onlookers filmed the model apparently kicking the victim on the ground and using a blade in her right hand to reportedly stab her several times.
Videos also surfaced of the row kicking off inside the venue and the suspect holding a bloodied knife afterwards, according to reports.
The clips led to Hoffman being dubbed ‘Miss Machete’ online.
The brawl allegedly took place outside the Berlin nightclub in Valdivia located south of Santiago, Chile.
The police have confirmed that the clips will be analysed as part of the ongoing investigation.
The Prosecutor’s Office also arranged for the victim to visit a medical centre to assess the severity of her injuries, as reported by Need To Know.
Both the suspect and the victim have yet to address the issue publicly.
Hoffmann has since made her Instagram account, where she had over 33,000 followers, private.
She was a finalist at the Miss Valdivia beauty pageant earlier this year, coming second behind winner Constanza Carrasco.
She also works as a promoter of brands, car dealerships and shopping centres in the city.
As well as modelling, the suspect is currently pursuing a degree in journalism at the Austral University of Chile.
The investigation continues.
