MANHATTAN — An off-duty FDNY emergency responder was arrested after attacking a co-worker during a fight in Hamilton Heights Friday morning, NYPD officials said.

Julie Moreland, 47, hit her colleague, a 34-year-old woman, in the head about 1:40 a.m. near Riverside Drive and West 145th Street, police said.

The victim refused medical attention at the scene, according to police.

It wasn't immediately clear what the two were feuding about, but Moreland was arrested for assault about 2 a.m., police said.

They may have been eating at the restaurant Sofrito in Riverbank State Park, police said.

"The incident is under review," said FDNY spokesman, Jim Long.
