Hullum is accused of stabbing a 26-year-old man five times in the back after Hullum's sister — identified Friday as 38-year-old Chandra Dixon of Brighton — was confronted for cutting a line at the bar.

The Suffolk County District Attorney's Office said Dixon was identified in surveillance video as the person who punched one victim and kicked another in the shoulder. She is now facing charges of assault and battery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, being her shod foot.

"This was a thorough investigation that didn't stop when one person was identified and charged," District Attorney Kevin Hayden said in a statement. "Everyone involved in this case worked diligently to identify and charge this second person for an extremely violent event that left the victim seriously injured."

Dixon was released on personal recognizance and is due back in Boston Municipal Court in Brighton for a pretrial hearing on June 26. Hullum has a probable cause hearing at the same courthouse on June 18. Attorney information for the siblings was not immediately available.
