Law enforcement sources tell us cops got a 911 call to Avenue Nightclub after midnight reporting a man assaulting two women and another man. We’re told Barnes, who is named as the assailant, allegedly choked a woman during an argument — and when 2 other people tried to intervene … he punched them both.
