A man was killed in Brooklyn early today when he fell and cut his arm on a broken bottle during a fistfight, police sources said.

Miguel Jiminez and a pal were thrown out of the La Cabana Rodriguez restaurant on Flatbush Avenue near Beverley Road shortly before 4 a.m. when they got into a clash over the bill, said police sources.

Jiminez and the pal got into a fight on the sidewalk outside the Flatbush eatery, and he can be seen on surveillance video pulling out a machete, sources said.

But Jimenez dropped the weapon when he and his friend decided to fight with their fists, witnesses told cops.

Outside the view of surveillance video, Jiminez fell onto a sidewalk littered with broken bottles and slashed his right bicep open.

He got up and started chasing after his friend — but soon collapsed in front of a nearby drug store, said sources.

Bystanders flagged down cops on patrol, who found Jiminez bleeding profusely from his arm.

Jimenez died at 4:30 a.m. at Kings County Hospital. Police have not been able to locate the man’s friend.

Jiminez was originally from Mexico and lived nearby in Flatbush.
