A 34-year-old woman fought off a sicko who barged into a Midtown nail salon, bit her on the cheek and tried to rape her Monday evening, cops said.
The victim was inside the shop on West 36th Street near Broadway – blocks from Herald Square – just after 6 p.m. when a stranger barged inside through an open door, police said.
He physically pinned her into a corner, before removing her pants and underwear, touching her private area and biting her on the cheek, authorities said.
