An off-duty cop moonlighting as a Madison Square Garden security guard was left with “permanent” spinal injuries after being pounced on during a scuffle with notorious rapper Lil Tjay, a new lawsuit claimed. NYPD officer John Przybyszewski was working a security detail for a boxing match at MSG’s Hulu Theater when Bronx-born rapper Lil Tjay — whose real name is Tione Jayden Merritt — lost his cool, and, along with his entourage of pals and bodyguards, fueled a brawl, court papers filed Monday said. “This didn’t just hurt my body, it changed how I live,” Przybyszewski, who said he now suffers “daily neck and back pain,” told The Post.
