An NYPD sergeant is facing charges that he has choked his cancer-stricken wife on three occasions since last summer, authorities said.
After the latest alleged attack, Sunday in the couple’s Sunset Park home in Brooklyn, George St. Louis, 37, repeatedly denied that he was a cop, according to law-enforcement sources.
Then, while under arrest, he allegedly phoned or texted his wife, Tania — who is undergoing chemotherapy for stomach cancer — about 32 times, repeatedly calling her a liar and accusing her of ruining their lives.
“I’m very afraid of him,” Tania St. Louis told The Post after her husband, who is assigned to Manhattan courts, was suspended without pay and ordered held on $2,500 bond.
“Yesterday was the last straw,” she said. “I’m happy to finally get the courage to get him out of my life.”
George St. Louis Jr. said his father “started going crazy” Saturday after discovering that a friend of his wife had send text messages to one of the couple’s four children.
The cop soon confronted his wife in a bathroom, covered her mouth to prevent her from screaming, briefly choked her and prevented her from leaving for several minutes, according to the criminal complaint.
His wife later told cops about two prior assaults, including one last year in which he choked her unconscious, the complaint says.
The second time was on April 6, when he punched her in the face and again choked her, according to the complaint.
