A New York model says he was left with a broken jaw and missing teeth during a brutal robbery outside a swanky Manhattan lounge — and is now planning to sue the night spot, arguing its security did nothing to stop the attack, The Post has learned.


Adam Byrd, 33, had just left the East Village’s Little Sister Lounge with a pal on March 16 when a group of men punched, kicked and beat him with a belt before snatching a $35,000 necklace off his neck, Byrd and police said.


But Byrd claims the bar’s bouncers refused to help despite being mere steps away during the beatdown.


“Security is three feet from this situation and watched this happen, with the belt and stomping to the face,” Byrd told The Post on Thursday.

The model and actor — who said he was still rattled a month after the attack — plans to sue the security staff and Tao Group Hospitality, which owns Little Sister Lounge, for negligence, his attorney, Anthony C. Sears, said.

“I see my friend literally within four seconds of walking out of the venue, he gets sucker punched by one guy and then sucker punched by another guy,” Byrd said in a phone interview.


One of the assailants allegedly yanked off his buddy’s Rolex, before turning to Byrd and pummeling him.


“My back is turned. I hear footsteps running up to me and the next thing I know I wake up to a stomp,” Byrd recalled, adding the brutes pinned him down and
