An irate councilwoman allegedly bit a deputy NYPD chief during a scream-filled clash with cops during a protest against a homeless shelter in Brooklyn, according to officials and video of the incident.

Councilwoman Susan Zhuang (D-43) was arrested on charges of second-degree and third-degree assault and resisting arrest Wednesday morning at a demonstration with “Residents Against Homeless Shelters” in Gravesend, police confirmed.

Zhuang, 38, allegedly tried to prevent officers from addressing another woman at the protest grabbing and pushing police barricades into cops — and bit Deputy Chief of Patrol Borough Brooklyn South Frank DiGiacomo on the arm when he attempted to pull the councilwoman away from barriers, law enforcement sources said.

Police confirmed that “multiple officers were assaulted” in the Wednesday morning demonstration and that several other demonstrators were also taken into custody. Zhuang is also charged with obstruction of government administration.

Footage of Zhuang’s arrest shows the lawmaker cable tied to a barricade while screaming incoherently as police attempted to take her into custody.

Another video shows Zhuang — who is wearing a bright pink top and patterned tights — being hauled away by police while protestors continue to scream off screen.

Police confirmed 150 people were at the demonstration, but had no details about other charges.

Zhuang posted a video on X just before 6 a.m. on Wednesday morning screaming at a cop about the noise coming from the construction site.

Zhuang was held at the 62nd Precinct Wednesday morning.

“We have a right to ask them about their permit,” one person can be heard saying to an officer.

“They have to have a permit,” another screamed and added, “I cannot hear anything because its so loud.”

“No it’s not, it’s not making noise, you’re screaming for no reason,” the officer responds calmly.

One unidentified person then begins to question the officer whether the “mayor is above the law.”

Zhuang was being held at the 62nd Precinct Wednesday morning, according to sources. She has since been released.

It comes just months after more than 2,000 New Yorkers incensed over the city’s plan to build a homeless shelter in their Brooklyn neighborhood descended on City Hall.

The residents, many brandishing signs and American flags, expressed fears the planned 32-room shelter — designed to accommodate up to 150 adult men — will become a magnet for drugs, crime and other trouble when it opens later this year.

Leading the efforts were Assemblyman William Colton (D-47), and Zhuang, opponents of the plan who organized the rally, which grew so massive it spilled over into City Hall Park.

The new shelter — proposed for 2501 86th Street and 25th Avenue in Gravesend — would be constructed as a hotel, complete with a community center, and then contracted by the city, Zhuang said at the time.

Zhuang contends that the city jammed the plan through without consulting its neighbors.

A city Department of Social Services spokesperson at the time denied Zhuang’s claim, saying that they first notified the community in November 2023.
