CHELSEA — A bouncer at Marquee punched a club-goer in the face and stomach when he tried to get his jacket after being thrown out of the nightspot early on Christmas Eve, the NYPD said.
The 30-year-old victim, from Manhattan, was at the popular nightclub at 289 10th Ave., between West 26th and West 27th streets, around 2 a.m. on Dec. 24 when he accidentally bumped into someone and got into an argument, police said.
After the club’s bouncers intervened and kicked the two out, the 30-year-old tried to re-enter the venue to get the jacket he left behind, the NYPD said.
At that point, the bouncers told the man to leave, and one of them punched him in the face and stomach, police said.
The man showed police photos of his injuries, the NYPD said.
No one had been arrested in connection with the incident as of Thursday.
Marquee did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
