A Staten Island man was charged with kicking a woman during a domestic dispute and later attacking a cop inside an NYPD precinct during a two-day rampage — but was still cut loose without bail.
David Caccavale, 37, was first busted for allegedly assaulting the woman inside a Rye Avenue home on Aug. 29, and is now facing assault and harassment charges, according to a criminal complaint.
But he wasn’t done, prosecutors said.
The following day while Caccavale was being held at the 123rd Precinct station house, when he allegedly “lunged his body” at the cop, causing the officer “to collide into a piece of furniture and to sustain physical injuries,” the complaint said.
The alleged attack occurred shortly before 2 a.m. as Caccavale was being prepped to go to court for his arraignment.
An NYPD spokesperson said the officer was thrown to the floor.
The unnamed cop suffered a shoulder injury in the encounter, the court document said.
Later that morning, Caccavale was charged with second and third-degree assault, second-degree harassment, second-degree aggravated harassment and second-degree obstruction of governmental administration, court records show.
Staten Island prosecutors asked that the accused thug be held on $20,000 cash bail or a $60,000 bond on the dual assaults — but Judge Matthew Blum instead cut him loose without bail on supervised release.
The state Office of Court Administration, which oversees the Empire State judicial system and Caccavale’s lawyer did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Caccavale is due to return to court on Oct. 14.
