A prominent Columbia architecture professor punched a female university employee in the face at a Harlem bar during a heated argument about race relations, cops said yesterday.
Police busted Lionel McIntyre, 59, for assault yesterday after his bruised victim, Camille Davis, filed charges.
McIntyre and Davis, who works as a production manager in the school's theater department, are both regulars at Toast, a popular university bar on Broadway and 125th Street, sources said.

That’s not excusing him. But many people have said or done things they regret after a few drinks, and I think the way he handles this now is going to be more important and tell us more about him.
***For the women on FR, is it OK to call you “gals” again?***
It was NEVER wrong to call us “gals.”
***Just that he probably wouldn’t have slugged her without the alcohol.***
Yes, alcohol does have a natural tendency to bring out the natural tendencies of the individual.

PEEP
With a name like McIntyre and likes to argue in bars he might have a lot of Irish privelege in him.
