LOWER EAST SIDE — A bar fight at Libation nightclub turned violent after spilling into the street, when an incensed bar-goer slashed another across the neck with a box cutter April 1, police said.

The 21-year-old victim got into an argument with a woman in the bar at 137 Ludlow St. around 4:53, at which point a male friend intervened and the fight escalated, police said.

When both men got kicked out of the bar, the scuffle turned violent — the woman's friend pulled a box cutter and sliced the left side of the victim's neck, leaving a laceration, police said.

The victim was drunk and highly uncooperative, police said.

Libation did not immediately return a request for comment.
