An unhinged commuter slashed an NYPD cop with a broken wine bottle — sparking an “all-out dogpile” where the straphanger bit another officer who tried to cuff him inside a Manhattan subway station, cops said.
The cops were conducting a “transit inspection” on the southbound A/C/E platform at the West 4th Street station in Greenwich Village around 2:45 p.m. Wednesday when they spotted someone acting erratically on the northbound side, police said.
Corinthian Hills, 35, was drinking on the platform when cops approached him, police said.

As the officers tried talking to the deranged man, he smashed a glass wine bottle and then used it to cut one of the cops on his left hand, authorities said.
Hills was taken to a local hospital, and later charged with two counts of second-degree assault, as well as resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration and disorderly conduct, cops said.

Hills’ most recent prior arrest was for false personation in August of 2019 in the Bronx, cops said.
He was also busted for a violation of local law in Manhattan 2014, in 2013 for a domestic violence robbery and in 2007 for resisting arrest — both in the Bronx, police said.
