Cops released new surveillance images Friday of the teenage punk and three people of interest in connection with the face slashing of a busboy at a Greenwich Village diner this week.
Police are trying to track down the suspected slasher as well as three other teen pals, a boy and two girls, who were with the attacker Wednesday — the day Bobby Barbot, 25, was sliced across the face, leaving him with 100 stitches, authorities said.
Barbot was working his first shift at the Silver Spurs diner on LaGuardia Place at 8 p.m. when the teen, wearing an orthodontic retainer, began soliciting diners for money for a “basketball team,” sources said.
“I told him, ‘You’re not supposed to be doing that, you should leave,’ ” Barbot told The Post on Thursday.
The teen, described as black or Hispanic and between 15 and 18 years old with short hair, warned that he’d be back, Barbot said.
The boy left, only to come back and slash Barbot, an aspiring MMA fighter.
The teen was last seen wearing a green bubble jacket, black sneakers, a gray hooded sweatshirt and dark jeans, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
