The NYPD arrested “Orange is the New Black” star Dascha Polanco after a Washington Heights teenager accused her of assault.
On Thursday, the 33-year-old Dominican actress was arraigned on assault, attempted assault and harassment charges in Manhattan Criminal Court.
Polanco, who plays inmate Dayanara Diaz on the Netflix web series, allegedly punched the teen “about the face and head with a closed fist at least three times,” according to court papers obtained by the NY Daily News.
Polanco also allegedly snatched the girl’s hair and punched her arm during the July 19 incident that is only now coming to light.
Court records did not indicate the nature of Polanco’s relationship with the teenager.
In an interview in October, Polanco told AOL she was “open to dating women.”
Polanco has 2 teenage children.
