The man — who remains at large — assaulted the woman following a "quarrel" around 6:20 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 5 at Golden Wings, Fish and Fried Chicken on South Orange Avenue, Newark Public Safety Director Brian O’Hara said.
The man reportedly grabbed the victim by her hair and placed her in a "full nelson," then slammed her onto the ground, according to a report by RLS Media. He punched her in the eye repeatedly while she was down, kicked her in the ribs and choked her while yelling "This is my f—ing hood,", the outlet says citing a police report.
The victim was transported to University Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries and is reportedly in stable condition.
