The NYPD captain who skipped out on his duties after two cops were shot in Brooklyn was arrested for battling security guards at a hospital on the Jersey Shore in 2011, The Post has learned.

Capt. Scott Forster, 31, was charged with assault and briefly suspended from the force following the “physical altercation” at Jersey Shore Medical Center in Neptune Township on July 5, law-enforcement sources said.

Forster, a sergeant at the time, had taken his injured brother to the hospital and grew furious that doctors weren’t tending to him fast enough, sources said.

It was not clear how the brother was hurt.

Fed up, the men tried to leave but were stopped by the guards because staff wanted to evaluate the brother, sources said.

Forster got into a fight with the guards, prompting hospital workers to call police, sources said.

He was arrested, but the charge were dismissed on Aug. 11, 2011, sources said.

The revelation comes a day after The Post reported that Forster ignored a direct order from a superior to respond to a call when he was a lieutenant in the Midtown South Precinct in 2014.

“Forster never responds to the location. He just blows it off and goes home,” a source said, adding that Forster was given a command discipline and docked vacation days.

The captain drew the ire of police brass about two weeks ago when he went home instead of going, as ordered, to Kings County Hospital in his Crown Heights precinct to help two wounded cops and console their families.

Officers William Reddin and Andrew Yurkiw were shot in a gunfight in Bedford-Stuyvesant on Feb. 20. Frederick Funes, 33, has been charged in the attack.

Forster recently told the Staten Island Advance that he was feeling sick and had left work that day about a half-hour early, at 3:30 a.m., without notifying his supervisor.
He said he didn’t learn that the two cops had been shot until 3:54 a.m., after he had arrived at his Staten Island home.

He told the paper that he suffers from “chronic hypertension,” which prevented him from doing his job that morning.

But a police source has told The Post that Forster said to another captain that racing to the hospital was “not my problem.”

The NYPD is investigating him for gross negligence, a source has said.
