An unhinged commuter slashed an NYPD cop with a broken wine bottle — sparking an “all-out dogpile” brawl where the straphanger bit another officer who tried to cuff him inside a Manhattan subway station, cops said.
The cops were conducting a “transit inspection” on the southbound A/C/E platform at the West 4th Street station in Greenwich Village around 2:45 p.m. Wednesday when they spotted someone acting erratically on the northbound side, police said.
The 36-year-old man was drinking on the platform when cops approached him, police said.
As the officers tried talking to the deranged man, he smashed a glass wine bottle and then used it to cut one of the cops on his left hand, authorities said.
As the cops tried to arrest the boozed-up maniac, an “all-out dogpile” ensued with the alleged slasher chomping down on the other officer’s leg, according to an NYPD spokesman.
The crazed assailant was taken to a local hospital, where he is in custody with charges pending, cops said. His name was not immediately released.
Both cops, who suffered minor injuries, were taken to a local hospital, where they were listed in stable condition.
