An off-duty NYPD officer is accused of repeatedly punching his wife in the face during an early-morning fight in a Brooklyn apartment building.
Daniyar Nurtaza, 41, was busted Sunday morning and charged with assault, attempted assault, menacing and harassment.
Nurtaza’s wife told responding officers that he hit her in the face several times in their Gravesend apartment building at about 1:30 a.m., leaving her bruised and swollen, according to a criminal complaint.
Nurtaza, who’s assigned to Transit District 34 in Coney Island, joined the NYPD in 2015. He has been suspended without pay, according to an NYPD spokesman.
He was arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court Sunday and released without bail.
His lawyer, David Stand, declined comment Monday.
