A serial domestic abuser with 31 prior arrests beat up his ex-girlfriend at a Brooklyn subway station, threw her on the tracks and robbed her before attacking responding police officers, cops and law enforcement sources alleged Wednesday.
Jabari Woodson — who has two open domestic violence cases and is wanted in connection with two other incidents in Brooklyn — showed up at the Bay Parkway N train station around 10 p.m. Tuesday and began punching his 24-year-old ex in the face, cops and sources alleged.
Woodson, 30, then allegedly banged the woman’s head on the floor and wall, dumped the contents of her purse onto the tracks and pushed her onto the roadbed, police said.
The woman managed to scramble back onto the platform, only to see Woodson snatch her wallet and catch the next northbound train, cops alleged.
NYPD officers at the 36th Street station caught up to Woodson and while they were taking him into custody, three cops were injured after he allegedly punched one of them in the face, kicked another and struggled as they put him in handcuffs, sources alleged.
When they finally got him into a patrol car, he kicked out a rear window before he was taken to Lutheran Hospital for a psychological evaluation, they said.

The victim was taken to Maimonides Hospital in stable condition.
Woodson was charged with felony robbery, felony assault, resisting arrest, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, obstruction and menacing, among other raps, cops said.
In June, Woodson was busted for two separate domestic violence incidents in Brooklyn and hit with a slew of charges, including assault, aggravated harassment, menacing, criminal mischief and possession of stolen property.
In the first incident on May 28, he allegedly broke an iPad belonging to a woman’s four-year-old son and punched the mom in the face, court records state.
About a week later on June 3, he allegedly texted the woman and said he’d kill her if she didn’t have sex with him, the records state.
The victim in the case is different than the one victimized on Tuesday night.
Woodson appeared in court on both of the cases on June 11. Bail was initially set at $5,000 or $10,000 bond because Woodson was originally facing a felony robbery offense for stealing the victim’s phone but the charge was later reduced because there wasn’t enough evidence, according to court records and sources familiar with the matter.
After the charge was reduced, Judge Joshua Glick sprung Woodson on his own recognizance instead of placing him on supervised release, despite a previous prison stint he did upstate for criminal mischief and his long arrest history, which is made up almost entirely of domestic violence offenses.
