Brooklyn

A man slashed the face of a peace officer escorting him out of a Downtown Brooklyn food-assistance center Thursday, authoritie­s said.

Donald Sutherland Jr., 25, threw a fit in the city-run facility on Schermerho­rn Street at about 12:40 p.m. when a social worker told him that in order to receive a new benefit card, he’d have to hand in his old one, sources said.

Sutherland allegedly turned belligeren­t and tried to hop the reception counter to grab a card — and the worker called for help.

Four peace officers from the city Human Resources Administra­tion/Department of Social Services responded and were escorting Sutherland outside when he slashed one on the cheek, police said.

Doctors used 40 stitches to close the officer’s wound, sources said.

Two other officers tained minor injuries.

The blade used in the attack was recovered — along with scissors and a boxcutter.

Sutherland was charged with assault and weapons possession, cops said.

Feeling threatened, the boy took the phone from his pocket and one of the suspects grabbed it, according to police.

Both suspects appeared to be about 16 years old and were seen carrying backpacks.

One was described as about 5-foot-5 and 120 pounds and was last seen wearing a red knit hat, a black jacket, black pants and red sneakers.
