Rowdy revelers were caught on video beating up a hot dog vendor late Sunday — as all hell broke loose at Washington Square Park, police said.

The chaos at the Greenwich Village greenspace resulted in the arrests of eight people, including a woman charged with biting an NYPD lieutenant, cops said Monday morning.

But no busts were made in the alleged beatdown of the 65-year-old vendor, who was attacked at Fifth Avenue and Washington Square North just before 11 p.m., according to police.

Disturbing video shows several people surrounding the man, in a bright yellow shirt, with one pummeling him in the face and knocking him down. The attacker can be seen clocking him again as he tries to get away.

The vendor was left with a bloodied face and was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition for cuts on his head, authorities said.

Police said the brawl broke out over prices of items — but a videographer who captured the beatdown said it happened after cart workers hurled an anti-gay slur.

Earlier in the night, clashes broke out at the famed park between a swarm of Pride parade partiers and cops, who deployed pepper spray on the unruly crowd around 7:15 p.m.

Eight people were arrested, including Emily Hagan, 23, of Kips Bay, who allegedly bit a lieutenant in the fracas.

Meanwhile, red graffiti with the message “White ppl are cancelled” was also discovered on the ground in the park, cops said.

It’s not a sanctioned party until the street cart vendors show up. It’s not a PRIDE party until a street cart vendor gets beaten up.

When I frequented that park back in the 70s it was Tong wars and drug turf wars. Now it’s home-grown commies and ferals.

Changing tagline.

Time for the usual guessing game. What was the race and what were the races of the attackers? Might explain why the police haven’t made any arrests in what was a clearly violent assault.

Somehow I can’t see or hear any of this crap from my remote location. Nice.
