NEW YORK -- New York City police said a 28-year-old Queens man was stabbed in the stomach Friday after he came on to a lesbian in the West Village.
Police said Dwayne Buckle was in critical condition Saturday at Saint Vincent's Hospital, where he underwent surgery on his liver.
Investigators said Buckle was stabbed after he stopped a 19-year-old woman and told her she was pretty.
The Daily News reported in its Saturday editions that Buckle, who the paper described as a DVD bootlegger in the West Village, spat on the 4-foot-11 woman after she rebuffed him.
According to police, the woman pulled out a steak knife and stabbed Buckle.
Joining in the attack were the woman's six friends ranging in age from 18 to 31, according to police. The Daily News said they beat him with belts, and punched and kicked him.
Police arrested the women a block away on charges of attempted murder and gang assault. They were arraigned early Saturday morning.
The paper quoted one of the women as saying that he called us [homophobic slur] and he said he was going to f-- us all.
He spat on us and threw a cigarette, another of the woman told the Daily News. This is a hate crime, she said hours after the incident, as police led the seven suspects out of the 6th Precinct stationhouse.
According to a published report in Saturday's editions of the New York Post, relatives and friends of the women -- who are all from Newark -- said they are lesbians and denied the women attacked Buckle. The Daily News referred to the women as a gang of petite but ornery lesbians."
Uh no the "hate" crime is the lesbian stabbing the man. You all could have walked away and I'm sorry throwing a cigarette butt at someone is not life threatening, IMO.
....remembering the story of the little dude who put his finger in the......well you remember too
Doogle
Maybe they were Muslim Lesbians.
I know that the intelligensia has a word for men who supposedly hate women because they are women (mysoginist). So what's the women's counterpart called?

and gang activity, obviously.
Feminist.
If he really spat on her, he deserved a beating. But the stabbing went too far...
Well, it obviously can be.
Sorry about that. I did a FR search with the keyword "lesbian" and nothing about this story showed up. The "s" at the end of the word "lesbian" makes all the difference.
In an interview from his ICU hospital bed published in the NY Post, he maintains that she spat on him and then he did the same. He says that their version of things is BS...he said, she said, I guess.
He's a bad man, a very bad man.
Oh great - so does this mean that lesbians want to take over the world, too?
Ok, their day to fly on a plan can be Wednesday. The moslems get Tuesday and Thursday. I will plan to fly on the other days.
My sister is a lesbian and I have met some very militant woman in her group of acquaintances. They all seem to walk around with a chip on their shoulder, looking for slights everywhere.
it does seem to be an alternate form of religion, where only the members can trust each other - which is patently stupid, because in any group of people you will find liars and cheats.
In their own way, I am sorry to say, the lesbians I have met are every bit as narrow-minded as the moslems. They just don't resort to violence generally.
Hillary!
I haven't been down there in awhile to watch basketball or eat Papaya. Should go down soon. Best basketball in NYC.
Thanks - I hadn't seen his account, so that's why I qualified my statement. I suspected there was more to the story than what the gang claimed.
Disproportionate response.
I agree it was overboard, but he did deserve at least a good punch for spitting on someone.
