An NYPD captain previously sued by a female staffer for alleged sexual harassment has been accused of beating and kidnapping a date in New Jersey, prosecutors have revealed.

Hariton Marachilian, 45, was arrested last week over the alleged December 2022 attack, which the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office on Thursday said saw him first choke the unidentified woman into submission and leave ‘visible marks’ on her neck.

The assault, officials allege, continued with the Iraq War vet repeatedly striking the woman’s head against the dashboard of his car, before punching her several times in the face.
