Arrested after he was accused of assaulting a Kirby vacuum cleaner saleswoman making a presentation at his home, a New York lawyer got into more trouble by allegedly trying to grab the arresting officer’s buttocks and smooch her boss, a police sergeant, at the 84th Precinct station house.

Barry Bondorowsky, 66, now faces charges including assault, sex abuse and forcible touching, the New York Post reports.

He allegedly told the stunned saleswoman, 41, “I don’t need a vacuum, I need a woman!” before ordering her into his bed. She instead ran to the lobby of his luxury apartment building in Brooklyn and called 911, the article recounts.

Reached at his office by the newspaper, Bondorowsky declined to comment.
