A body-building firefighter was suspended without pay Friday after he was busted for beating and biting his transgender model girlfriend, officials said.
Taylor Murphy, 28, was hauled into court late Thursday for the alleged attack that left Claudia Chiarrez with bruises and bite marks.
She was shoved into a phone booth and choked in a midtown hotel room earlier this month, court records said.
The 245-pound firefighter was featured in a firefighters' 2011 calendar as "Mr. March" - but not in the official FDNY calendar.
"He's in another calendar that has nothing to do with the FDNY," a Fire Department source of the publication that features the hunkiest of the Bravest.
"It's important. If somebody is turned off by this it could impact our sales," the source said of the glossy calendar that rakes in between $200,000 and $300,000 a year for charity.
Murphy, who's been a firefighter for four years, worked at Engine 7/Ladder 1 on Duane St. in Manhattan.
Chiarrez, who goes by the stage name Amber Vaughn, is a petite blond who underwent sex-change surgery. She claims to have been disqualified by "America's Next Top Model" and also appeared on "The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency."
The assault allegedly began outside Flashdance, a club at Broadway and 52st St., at 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 6.
Murphy allegedly flew into a rage, grabbed his 30-year-old gal pal by her blond locks and dragged her for three blocks north on Broadway.
The firefighter then tossed the 124-pound victim over his shoulder, marched to a phone booth, shoved her inside, choked her and left her there, documents charge.
Murphy later showed up at the Hotel Metro on W. 35th St., where he grabbed Chiarrez by the neck, slammed her on the bed, put his hand over her mouth as she screamed, and began to "kick, punch and bite [Chiarrez] in various parts of [her] body," according to a criminal complaint.
Chiarrez now has a restraining order out against Murphy, according to court records.
