CHELSEA — Hell hath no fury like two women scorned.

An attempt at a covert love triangle by a wannabe Casanova backfired for all parties involved when the two women teamed up to confront their shared lover, but ended up in jail on charges of pepper-spraying him and slapping him around, according to police reports.

Stephanie Dorismond, 19, of Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Assata Thomas, 22, of Plattsburg, N.Y., went to confront the 23-year-old man at his workplace on West 22nd Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues in Chelsea shortly after 3:30 p.m. on March 29, police said.

The conversation apparently did not go well, according to police reports. Thomas pepper-sprayed her former lover in the face while Dorismond punched him repeatedly in the face, officials said.

Officers called to the scene arrested the two women, and prosecutors charged them with three counts of assault and one count of harassment a piece, records show. Both attackers were released without bail and ordered to stay away from the victim. They're due back in court on May 18, according to court records.

Lawyers for the women did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
