Ex-Knick Larry Hughes released without charge after cops cuffed him in SoHo

Former Knicks player Larry Hughes was walked out of the Trump SoHo hotel in handcuffs Friday after a night of partying at notorious club Greenhouse, which he partly owns.

Hughes, 35, was questioned at the 1st Precinct about an earlier incident at the luxury hotel and was then released without being charged, sources said.

Hughes — who is 6 feet 5 and was listed as 184 pounds when he played — was the 8th pick in the 1998 NBA Draft and was traded to the Knicks for the 2009-2010 season before finishing his career with the Orlando Magic in 2011-2012.

Greenhouse draws a hot slate of celebrities, musicians and professional athletes — but the exclusive club has also been the site of numerous violent high-profile fights.

A brawl between some University of South Carolina football players and a New York club promoter at Greenhouse on April 11 ended with one of the players stabbed and the promoter’s face smashed, law-enforcement sources have said.

A Bronx woman suffered a broken eye socket and needed 20 stitches after a nutcase hurled a bottle that smashed her in the face on Feb. 22, cops said.

And in December, “Mob Wives” star Natalie Guercio allegedly bashed a woman over the head with a bottle at Greenhouse.

The most notorious brawl broke out between musicians Drake and Chris Brown over singer Rihanna after Drake’s table sent a note that said “I am f–king the love of your life” to Brown at about 4 a.m. June 14, 2012.

The hot-headed hip hop stars and their entourages fought with fists and threw bottles that turned the club into a blood-soaked battlefield.
