This is the moment a petite pretty cop hits back a burly biker who slapped her across the face during a row over a road accident.
The incident was filmed in the city of San Nicolas in the eastern Argentine province of Buenos Aires following an accident involving a motorbike and a car.
According to reports, the police were called to mediate between the two people involved in the accident and the biker slapped a female officer’s face during the row.
In the footage, the plucky cop, identified as Jenifer del Rosario Correa, says to the burly biker: “What are you doing? You hit me, how rude of you. Who are you to hit me?”
The video was shared by Cristian Ritondo, head of the security department of Buenos Aires Province, with the message: “He is not a man rebelling against authority, he is a man beating a woman.
“I reject this cowardly and violent act that shows how gender violence has no limits. I stand in solidarity with Jenifer, the San Nicolas officer who suffered this attack.”

He also confirmed that the biker has been arrested.
Meanwhile, the pluck cop has reportedly been promoted to sergeant.
Ritondo said: “I met with Jenifer Correa, the officer attacked by the man in San Nicolas, to give her my support. She will be promoted to sergeant because she acted in accordance with protocols when confronted by someone carrying out gender violence.
The biker, identified as 43-year-old Daniel Alvarez, has been arrested and the prosecutor in charge of the investigation, Franca Padulo, has reportedly requested that he undergoes a psychiatric assessment.
He has reportedly been charged with attacking a police officer and resisting arrest.
The investigation is ongoing.
