THEATER DISTRICT — A woman accused of repeatedly scalping forged Broadway tickets upped the drama in her latest offense when she threw a star-fit and slapped one of her victims, according to police. 

An upset client confronted Norah Alanazi, 29, near the intersection of 51st Street and Ninth Avenue just after midnight on Oct. 7 when he realized he'd been ripped off, police said.

Alanazi quickly became violent and started punching and kicking the victim, leaving him with cuts on his arms, hands and forehead, police said.

Police arrested the Alanazi, an East New York resident, and charged her with assault. 

After this arrest, Alanazi was linked to at least seven prior arrests dating back to 2013 for selling fraudulent Broadway tickets to shows like "Kinky Boots" and "Lion King," according to police records.

Alanazi was released and is due back in court on Nov. 19, according to prosecutors. Her lawyer Frank Rothman who has represented her in earlier cases declined to comment on her latest arrest.
