WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME:

They were clubgoers looking for a good time — and ended up being collateral damage.
A slew of revelers who had nothing to do with Chris Brown’s and Drake’s beef left the SoHo nightspot W.i.P. bloodied, bruised and covered in shards of glass early yesterday.
“It was like a battlefield,” said Lucy Pavlovsky, 24, a Macy’s financial planner sitting with rapper Fabolous when the mayhem erupted.
“I ran out of the club and I realized I was bleeding. My arm was just gushing blood. I was just so freaked out.”
The Hoboken, NJ, resident was right in the line of fire of flying bottles.
“People were just fighting and throwing glass. It was just crazy,” she said.
“Everyone started ducking. I hid my head, closed my eyes, the music stopped and I swear I heard what I thought were gunshots.”
Pavlovsky got 12 stitches on her left arm — and a lawyer.
Others were so shaken that they swore off the nightlife scene.
“I’ve been clubbing my whole life,” said Bed-Stuy student Howard Clement, 30, who also has hired a lawyer.
“I ain’t clubbing for a while. I’ll probably never go clubbing again.”
Clement got five stitches after he was slashed across the back of his neck.
“I’m just standing there, then I felt some commotion, then somebody grabbed my neck and I felt a burning sensation,” said Clement. “Somebody slashed me. The blood was coming out like crazy.”
After that, he said, “I kind of blacked out. I had a seizure.
“The doctors said I was lucky, it could have gone further into my neck.”
