A woman was beaten by a police officer during an arrest at the Jersey Shore for assaulting police officers

A woman who was punched by a police officer during an arrest in Jersey Shore, who was viral during the summer, was accused of assaulting two police officers involved in a crime. the fight, legal sources told The Post.

Emily Weinman, 20, of Philadelphia – whose violent arrest on camera sparked a public outcry over the use of force by the police – was indicted on Tuesday by a grand jury in Cape May County.

Weinman was with a friend at Wildwood Beach on Memorial Day weekend when officer Thomas Cannon and his partner, Agent Robert Jordan, interviewed underage women on unopened bottles of alcohol near their beach covers.

Weinman claimed that the alcohol belonged to her aunt and refused to give her name to the cops – causing a savage brawl in which she pushed Cannon and hit her twice in the head, according to the pictures.

But the authorities allege that she attacked and spat on the policemen. The grand jury charged Mr. Weinman with two counts of aggravated assault on police officers, resistance to arrest, bodily fluids and obstruction, according to court officials.

His lawyer, Stephen Dicht, responded by saying that the police involved should be on trial.

"We welcome the chance to defend Emily and show that the police are the culprit in this case, not her," he told The Post.

Weinman did not spit on the police – she was just trying to get the sand out of her mouth, he said.

During the arrest, Weinman appears to have passed a breathalyzer test, but then hit Cannon when he asked her his name.

"You're crazy because you thought we were drinking," she says, according to the video.

"OK, that's it – I'm done with you," he says, then asks his partner to handcuff.

Weinman recoiled, shouting, "Do not touch me!

He is shown later by pushing the cop before he attacks her by his ponytail. "You're suffocating me!" She cries.

The video quickly aroused indignation among critics who claimed that Cannon and Jordan, seasonal special officers, were at fault.

Cannon and Jordan were cleared of their wrongdoing after the authorities examined images of the body and cell phone cameras and police.

In July, Weinman refused a plea agreement.
