One of them was "slightly pretty," so the freelance film director decided to say hi.
Next thing he knew, he was encircled, beaten and knifed in the gut right there on a Greenwich Village sidewalk - by seven bloodthirsty young lesbians.
"The girls started coming out of nowhere," Dwayne Buckle told a Manhattan jury yesterday, describing the bizarre beat-down he suffered last summer, allegedly at the hands of a seething sapphic septet from Newark, N.J.
"I felt like I was going to die."
Buckle, 29, of Queens, took the stand in Manhattan Supreme Court yesterday to admit he was defenseless and terrified after his simple "hello" spurred a predawn melee on Sixth Avenue at West 4th Street.
Three of the original seven women are currently serving six-month jail sentences for attempted assault. But four others are on trial on first-degree gang-assault charges that could get them anywhere from three to 25 years in prison.
The accused ringleader - Patreese Johnson, 20, whom Buckle called the "slightly pretty one" - is additionally charged with attempted murder for allegedly pulling a knife from her purse and slashing Buckle repeatedly, lacerating his liver and stomach.
The women, in turn, claim they were defending themselves against a violent, anti-gay bigot, and counter that Buckle provoked them as he sat outside the IFC Center movie theater trying to talk pedestrians into buying his latest movie.
When they rebuffed his advances - telling him he wasn't their type - he began calling them "f- - -ing dykes," they say. He then spat on them, threw a cigarette at them, and even grabbed one of them by the throat - which, like much of the melee, was caught on an IFC video security camera.
"I'll f- - - you straight, sweetheart," he told defendant Venice Brown, 19,

Someone might overhear him and get the wrong idea about them.
They might think they are weak girls.
Killer Lesbians From Venus.
I think it was an Ed Wood film...
He spit and flicked a cigarette, they pulled knives and stabbed him multiple times nearly killing the guy and they call him violent. Interesting analysis they have.
He’s lucky he’s not Persian!
This one is just waiting for your comments....
looks like they could eat his lunch, even without the knives....
Damn you! LOL!
This story has “Hollywood” all over it. Tarentino can direct it. “The Attack of the Killer Lesbos!” the “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes 2” can be the running mate
He grabbed one of them by the throat and offered to “f*** her straight”. At that point, if that’s really how it went down, he was lucky to get carried to the hospital instead of the morgue.
“he would be lucky if I just stabbed his liver as opposed to removing it and bringing it home with me.”
Add some fava beans and a nice Chianti!
“He spit and flicked a cigarette” and was caught on a security camera with his hands on the throat of one of them right before the knives came out. I think it was a massive overreaction on the girls’ part - but to a situation that was likely to turn out horrible for them anyway.
I'm not joking or making this up! I was speechless when she told me this! (And BTW she KNOWS I'm straight!) What really worries me about her is that she is a university professor who influences young minds!
Yeah, don't bring a cell phone, spit, and a cigarette to a knife fight.
This guy went from “major sleazebag” to “would-be rapist” to “assault victim” to “laughingstock of the New York Post” in record time, didn’t he?
“...seething sapphic septet...”
... so stated Safire.
I bet he thinks twice before he ever approaches one again.
