The 30-year-old woman filed a police report saying that on Sunday night, a highly intoxicated Gooding grabbed her breast, leading to a confrontation that was broken up by security, according to the New York Post .
Goodings lawyer denied the allegation.
In 2012, three women accused Gooding of sexually harassing them at a bar in New Mexico, including grabbing their breasts and buttocks. He denied their claims as bullshit.
This story has been updated with video of Gooding in handcuffs.
