A man slashed another bargoer with a large knife during a fight over a woman that spilled out of a Hell’s Kitchen watering hole and onto the street late Sunday, cops said.

The 26-year-old victim was with his friends at Mickey Spillane’s on West 49th Street near Ninth Avenue around 10:30 p.m. when a clash erupted because a stranger was flirting with his female pal, police said. 

The dispute then spilled out of the bar and around the corner, police said.
