Police say it started when officers spotted 23-year-old Dikiya Bland allegedly smoking marijuana inside a car in Westbury Tuesday night.
When officers approached her car, they say 28-year-old Sheba Flood stepped in and became verbally abusive.
Police say that escalated to violence, with Flood kicking and punching an officer in the head.
Flood was charged with second-degree assault with intent to cause physical injury to a police officer, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration and disorderly conduct.
Bland was charged with criminal possession of marijuana.
