Bar patrons are more and more crazy these days! A bouncer at the Hudson Hotel was punched, then stabbed by a woman he was throwing out of the bar. Shanti Booker, who the Post describes as a Staten Island mother, was complaining that she wasn't getting drinks fast enough, and when she and her boyfriend caused trouble, security guard Rasman Mushett asked her to leave. But she threw a punch, and then, as one witness described, she "drew out a knife and shanked him." Booker and her boyfriend, Daniel Valentine, fled the hotel, but were apprehended a few blocks away. Mushett is recovering at Roosevelt Hospital.
And a man wounded at Brooklyn social club shooting incident where another man was killed, says that he doesn't think the police shot him; the police and gunmen had exchanged 40-50 shots.
