Leave it to the unluckiest guy on the face of the earth<\/a> to hit on a gang of lesbians with steak knives:<\/p>\n

Dwayne Buckle picked the wrong woman to hit on.<\/p>\n

When he stopped Patreese Johnson, 19, on a West Village street corner early yesterday to tell her she was “pretty,” she stabbed him in the stomach with a steak knife, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Then her six pals — all lesbians, according to family and friends — joined in on the attack, cops said.<\/p>\n

Terrain Daindridge, 19, of East Orange, N.J., and Newark women Venice Brown, 18, Renata Hill, 24, Chenese Loyal, 19, Lania Daniels, 21, and Khamysha Coates, 31, were apprehended a block away and arrested with Johnson on charges of attempted murder and gang assault, police said. The knife also was recovered.<\/p>\n

The women were all charged early today with attempted second-degree murder, two counts of assault and gang assault. None of them posted the $50,000 cash bail imposed by the judge.<\/p>\n

Buckle, an independent filmmaker who turns 29 next week, was at St. Vincent’s Hospital in critical condition.<\/p>\n

“He recently broke up with his girlfriend and told me he was looking for someone,” said a friend, who co-produced Buckle’s first feature film, “The Minority.”<\/p>\n

“He has always had very bad luck,” she said. “But he’s not the kind of guy who would ever cause trouble.”<\/p>\n

The gang of women has often been taunted and harassed for being gay, friends and relatives said.<\/p>\n

“They go out with a group so they don’t run into friction with a man that doesn’t understand,” said a cousin of one of the women, who did not want to be identified.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then again, as more details emerge<\/a>, the victim doesn’t seem totally blameless:<\/p>\n

Buckle, a sound technician and film director, was walking home from a friend’s house at around 2 a.m. when he encountered the group of about six women.<\/p>\n

One of them caught his eye — she was feminine and beautiful, he said, and stood out from the group.<\/p>\n

“I said ‘hi’ and, ‘How are you doing?’ ” he said.<\/p>\n

Patreese Johnson, 19, didn’t reply — but her girlfriend did.<\/p>\n

“The fat girl just started yelling at me,” he said. “She cursed me out.”<\/p>\n

Buckle told Johnson’s girlfriend that he hadn’t been talking to her, but the Newark woman continued hollering insults.<\/p>\n

Outside the IFC Center movie theater on Sixth Avenue, Buckle suddenly was surrounded.<\/p>\n

“Another girl started dissing me,” he said. “She told me my sneakers were cheap.”<\/p>\n

One of the women shook her fist in his face and spit on him, he said.<\/p>\n

“I spit back on her,” he said.<\/p>\n

Then all hell broke loose, and the gang removed their belts — letting loose on the Jamaica, Queens, man with a furious barrage of punches, kicks and slaps, he said.<\/p>\n

Buckle described his attackers as “half girls and half men.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
