MIDTOWN — A Sephora employee clocked a woman in the face with a sports drink during an argument outside a store last week, according to the NYPD.

The 39-year-old victim was taken to Roosevelt Hospital with a bloody nose after the Oct. 13 attack in front of the 597 Fifth Ave. Sephora store just after 9 p.m., police said.

"Did you enjoy calling me a b**ch?" the victim asked the Sephora employee moments before the attack, she told police.

“Don’t talk to us,” the Sephora employee replied and then hit the woman across the face with the bottle.

It wasn’t clear what sparked the argument and police didn’t arrest either woman, though the investigation is ongoing. A Sephora employee declined to comment on the incident.
