MEATPACKING DISTRICT — A man was kicked out of The Standard last weekend for groping a young woman and then tried to forced his way back inside, police said.

Police said security ejected Nicolai Bushin, 29, from the 848 Washington St. nightclub about 12:25 a.m. on Jan. 30, after he grabbed the stomach and lower back of a 26-year-old woman.

He then tried to get back into the club “in a violent and tumultuous manner," police said.

Bushin was charged with forcible touching, resisting arrest, sexual abuse and attempted criminal trespass. He was also issued a violation for disorderly conduct and violent behavior.

He is due back in court on March 25. 

His lawyer did not immediately respond to a voicemail left for comment.

A message left at The Standard was not immediately returned.

Other notable incidents in the 6th Precinct include:

► One man punched another in the face at Brass Monkey last weekend, police said.

Police said Ryan Buttimer, 24, punched another man inside the bar at 55 Little West 12th St. about 2:20 a.m. on Jan. 31.

The victim refused medical attention at the scene, police said.

Buttimer was charged with assault, attempted assault and harassment.

He is due back in court on April 2. Information about his lawyer was not immediately available.

A voicemail left with Brass Monkey was not immediately returned.

► A 20-year-old man was busted by a watchful building super after stealing packages from the building’s lobby, police said.

Police said Jonathan Paulino, 20, made a habit of ringing various buzzers at 25 Minetta Lane and claiming to be a UPS delivery person in order to get inside the building. Tenants leave packages in the lobby for pickup by UPS, and Paulino would rummage through them, police said.

After Paulino made off with packages that didn't belong to him at least three times, totaling more than $1,000 in goods, the super caught him while watching a surveillance camera at about 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 28, police said.

The super called 911 and then confronted Paulino, holding him until officers arrived to arrest him.

Paulino was charged with felony burglary, police said.

The items he stole between Jan. 10 and Jan. 17 include a $200 men's all-weather coat, a $120 professional framed family photo belonging to a 74-year-old woman, a $165 Bloomingdale's bag being returned by a 28-year-old woman, $100 worth of Christmas ornaments belonging to a 28-year-old man and $175 Lululemon pants and top belonging to a 30-year-old woman.

Paulino was being held on $3,500 cash bail and is due back in court Feb. 10. His lawyer declined to comment.

► One man punched another in the face several times for talking to his girlfriend, police said.

Christopher White, 25, spotted a 24-year-old man talking to his girlfriend at the Christopher Street PATH train station at about 2:30 a.m. Feb. 1 and punched the man in the face three or four times, police said. The victim was left with injuries to his mouth and teeth.

White, a Hoboken resident, was taken to Lenox Hill, where he received seven stitches to his left middle finger.

The victim received medical attention at the scene.

White was charged with assault, attempted assault and harassment and is due back in court on March 25.

His attorney did not immediately respond to a voicemail left for comment.
