Disgraced ice queen Tonya Harding bloodied her live-in boyfriend in a drunken rage — and then complained she broke a nail, police said yesterday.
Electrician Darren Silver, 28, told cops that Harding started “hooking me like Mike Tyson” after they returned home from a night of boozing and playing video poker.
“She’s out of my life forever,” Silver told The Post yesterday from their home in Camas, Wash. “She beat me up. She was drunk as hell and I never touched her.”
Harding — whose skating career collapsed when she was accused of orchestrating an attack on Olympic rival Nancy Kerrigan in 1994 — was charged with misdemeanor assault.
The fracas erupted around 8 p.m. Tuesday when Harding and Silver were parking the car in a barn on their property.
Silver claims Harding picked up a metal hubcap, hurled it at his face, started punching his face, and kneed him in the groin — all while yelling obscenities at him.
“She started beating the s— out of him,” witness Deven Schroeder told investigators. “He wouldn’t hit her. He held her arms.”
He said Silver yelled at Harding, “Go ahead and hit me, bitch. I got witnesses right here.”
Harding told cops that she started throwing punches only after Silver knocked her to the ground. “He forced me to defend myself,” she insisted to a dispatcher.
When police got to the house, Harding was inside, throwing things around, and Silver was outside with a bloody nose and a swollen left cheek.
“While talking with both Harding and Silver, it was obvious they were both intoxicated,” an officer wrote in his report.
“I could smell a strong odor of intoxicants on Silver’s breath and Harding’s eyes were red and watery, her speech was slurred, she was talking loudly and she stumbled while she walked.”
Her godparents, Greg and Linda Lewis, came to the police station to pick her up after she’d been booked.
Harding told them her hand hurt and she’d broken a nail from punching her boyfriend.
The twice-divorced skater was released with an order to stay away from Silver. She is due back in court today to face the assault charge.
Harding — who pleaded guilty to hindering prosecution in the Kerrigan attack and got three years probation — has been trying to make an on-ice comeback.
Last year, she competed in the Pro Skating Championships in West Virginia — and finished fourth out of five.
