Sixth Precinct Community Affairs Officer Martin Baranski retired last week after 32 years on the force. At a party for Baranski at the precinct last Friday, Christopher St. activist Jessica Berk posed with him for a photo. Villager readers will recall that Berk has sued the Sixth on more than one occasion and, in general, has at times been a tough critic of the Greenwich Village precinct. But she holds Baranski in high regard. “They don’t make ’em like that anymore,” she said. “I’m proposing a female community affairs officer as his replacement,” she added. “That’s the only way to fill his shoes.” Photo by P.O.

Bowery slashing

An Uptown man was badly cut during a dispute at Bowery and Stanton St. on Mon., April 3, shortly after 10 p.m., police said. The victim, age 27, suffered a 4-inch slash to the left side of his neck.

Police responding to a 911 call found the wounded man and he was transported by E.M.S. to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition. So far, there has been no arrest or any description of the suspect, either — possibly because the victim is having difficulty talking.

“He has not been interviewed yet due to the nature of his injury,” a police spokesperson said.

 

Le face punch

A man was punched in the face inside Le Poisson Rouge music club, at 158 Bleecker St., on Sat., April 1, at 3:30 a.m., police said. The 38-year-old victim suffered a small cut to his left cheek and pain on the left side of his neck.

Sub card flub

According to police, a man was using a fraudulent credit card to pay for drinks at Subrosa, at 63 Gansevoort St., on Tues., Feb. 21 at 12:30 a.m. A concierge at the basement-level music venue recognized that the card’s numbers did not match the receipt.
