Fashion police
STYLIST-to-the-stars Phillip Bloch (inset) had a cop confrontation.
The fashion guru — who has worked with everyone from Michael Jackson to Jennifer Lopez — was in a taxi in Washington Heights on Saturday at 2 a.m. when eight patrol cars surrounded the vehicle. “They had me put my hands up and started asking me all these questions,” Bloch told me. “I can’t begin to tell you how frightening that was, and how aggressive the police were, and it is easy to see how such a simple situation escalates. If I made one wrong move, I know it could have ended differently.” The police soon ascer- tained that the 5-foot-11 former model was not the heavyset 5-foot-7 suspect they were looking for.
“The worst thing, the meter was running the whole time,” Bloch laughed. “You can’t win.”
