The giant, inflatable rat that was stabbed outside the upscale Babbo restaurant in Manhattan this week is getting patched up — and its injuries were even worse than previously thought, The Post has learned. On Thursday, the union that staged the ill-fated Monday protest at the grand reopening of the posh Italian eatery bought a patch from Home Depot to repair an 8-inch gash on the right thigh of “Scabby the Rat” that was allegedly cut by a knife-wielding assailant. Members of Unite Here Local 25 brought the rat back to its headquarters in Washington, DC, for the procedure, union reps said.
