TIMES SQUARE — A man was left with a bloody nose and a cut lip after an argument with a topless “desnuda” in Times Square, the NYPD said.
A Chilean tourist and his brother-in-law were posing for photos with one of the performers in a designated activity zone near 1535 Broadway, between West 45th and West 46th streets, around 5:25 p.m. on Thursday when the woman and her managers got upset about the tip they’d given her, according to police and NBC.
At some point during the argument over the $1 tip, one of woman’s managers hit the tourist in the face, leaving him with a cut, NBC reported.
A witness, however, reportedly said the manager pushed the tourist back after he punched her.
The brother-in-law was injured by the performer’s other manager, NBC said.
One of the men suffered a bloody nose and a lacerated upper lip, police said.
The desnuda and her managers were last seen entering the Hotel Edison at 228 W. 47th St., between Broadway and Eighth Avenue, the NYPD said.
No one had been arrested in connection with the incident as of Thursday morning, police said.
