Exclusive new video obtained by The Post shows an off-duty NYPD detective duking it out with a maniac on a sidewalk who had been throwing food at her in a Midtown Starbucks this week, authorities said.
The 39-year-old female detective was heading to work when she allegedly saw the man taking food from a case inside the Sixth Avenue and West 58th Street Starbucks without paying, and showed him her NYPD shield Friday, authorities said.
She walked him out of the store, but he came back in and began hurling food at her and around the Starbucks, authorities said.
