Doorman cut in scrap with fotog in SoHo

Fight with photographer started over bike parking

A doorman at the SoHo Grand Hotel was hurt yesterday after he got into a scuffle with a freelance photographer outside the posh Manhattan hotel, cops and witnesses said.

The 42-year-old victim, whose name was not released by cops, was slashed on his right wrist, possibly with a key, during the 12:20p.m. fracas, cops and witnesses said.

The two men began to fight after the doorman told the shutterbug he could not park his green mountain bike in front of the hotel at 310 W. Broadway, cops said.

The argument escalated "like a volcano," a 31-year-old witness said.

"And then they started fighting."

The doorman was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital Manhattan in stable condition, authorities said.

The assailant, who was described as a white male in his 30s wearing camouflage pants, fled west toward Canal St. after the dustup. He was being sought by police late yesterday.

I SWEAR it wasn't me! But that's a damn close description...LOL.
