I could not find the exact year but he was a bouncer in a saloon/brothel in Brooklyn while in his teens. In a fight with a hoodlum named Frank Galluccio over a girl his left cheek was slashed hence the nickname 'Scarface'. It worked out well for him, making him look like a 'tough guy' which I'm sure went a long way in his future business as a gangster.
