QUEENS — An off-duty police officer who pleaded guilty to drunk driving in 2012 was arrested again early Friday and charged with slapping his girlfriend while she held their baby, police said.

Officer Brayan Terrazas, 29, got into an argument with his girlfriend, whose age is not known, at roughly 12:30 a.m Friday within the 110th Precinct, police said.

He slapped her while she held their baby, police said.

He was arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a child, criminal mischief and harassment, according to authorities.

Terrazas is temporarily suspended while the NYPD investigates, according to a department spokesman.

It's his second arrest since joining the NYPD seven years ago, police said. 

In 2012, he was arrested for driving drunk after crashing his car into a concrete median in Long Island City. He was suspended without pay after that incident.

Terrazas pleaded guilty to the charge and had his license suspended for 90 days, paid $300 in fines and was ordered to attend a "drunk driving program," the New York Post reported at the time.
