Cops arrested a man for allegedly slugging a woman in the face as she exited the controversial Woodland restaurant on Flatbush Avenue on Oct. 14.
The arresting officer was outside the saloon near St, Mark’s Avenue at 10:30 pm, when he spotted the victim as she was escorted out of the bar, according to police.
The woman had just emerged onto the sidewalk when the suspect launched his alleged assault, punching her once in the face, cops said.
Upon witnessing the attack, the patrolman sprang into action, but the suspect didn’t make things easy on him, and flailed his arms as the officer made the arrest, cops said.
Woodland made headlines recently after Deputy Inspector Frank DiGiacomo of the 78th Precinct made the call in early September to post officers outside the Flatbush Avenue watering hole to monitor it and the neighboring Bleachers Sports Bar and Grill Friday through Monday in response to area residents’ quality of life concerns.
It is unclear if the officer who affected the suspect’s arrest was attached to the post.
