You've seen Vince Shlomi.

He's Mr. ShamWow, the TV pitchman peddling absorbent towels and the Slap Chop food choppers.

There was some slap chopping going on in his personal life recenty -- and it didn't include food, reports Shamwowguy.bmpThe Smoking Gun.

Shlomi met Sasha Harris, 26, at a Miami Beach nightclub, according to the cop report.

He told cops he paid Harris about $1,000 in cash after she "propositioned him for straight sex."

Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly "bit his tongue and would not let go."

So Shlomi punched her several times until she released his tongue.

Harris wound up with facial fractures and lacerations.

After freeing his tongue, a bleeding Shlomi ran to the Setai lobby, where security summoned cops.

Harris refused to cooperate with officers, who recovered $930 from her purse.

"Both parties had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from their persons," police reported. (Translation: They stunk of booze.)

Shlomi was injured during the fracas and treated at a hospital.

Now Harris is thinking about slapping him with a lawsuit.

That'll bust his chops.
