GREENWICH VILLAGE — A man was arrested after groping a woman in a neighborhood bar and then bashing a man in the head with a beer glass, the NYPD said.
Olufemi Odunuga, 33, squeezed a 28-year-old woman’s butt at Falucka Bar and Lounge, 162 Bleecker St., on Nov. 30 at about 3:10 p.m., police said. He then threw a beer glass at a 36-year-old man, police said. The man was taken to Bellevue Hospital and needed stitches to close the 3-inch cut on his head, according to the police report.
Odunuga was charged with assault, forcible touching and sexual abuse, police said. Information regarding his lawyer was not immediately available.
Charges against Odunuga were dismissed in June 2014, according to court documents.

Ricardo Ona, 42, tried to use the card to buy items from the Sunglass Hut at 304 Bleecker St. on Nov. 30 at about 8:27 p.m., but the charge wouldn’t go through because the barcode was defective, police said.

The victim was treated by EMS at the 6th Precinct stationhouse, police said.
