BY THE VILLAGE SUN | Angry words led to an early-morning slashing in front of the Red Lion bar in Greenwich Village.
Police said that on Fri., Nov. 24, a little after 5 a.m., a 33-year-old man was standing in front of the Red Lion, at 151 Thompson St., at Bleecker Street, when an unidentified male approached him and slashed him in the neck, causing a large laceration, after a verbal altercation.
