The brute charged with beating a petite young woman over an East Village parking spot reportedly whined that he only acted in self-defense against the 4-foot-11 victim’s relentless attacks.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang, she’s just hitting me, hitting me, and I’m like ‘whoa, whoa,” the suspect, Oscar Fuller, told WCBS/Channel 2.

The senseless violence occurred Feb. 25 when the victim, 25-year-old Lana Rosas, was holding a parking space on East 14th Street for her boyfriend and Fuller drove up in his silver minivan.

Fuller — whose prior arrests include weapons possession and felony assault — accused Rosas of being the aggressor.

“Some female that I never met in my life hit me, and I hit her back,” he told WCBS.

“Do I feel I was right hitting this woman? No, I don’t.

“Do I feel she was right in hitting me? No, I don’t.”

Rosas has been at Bellevue Hospital in a coma since the attack and remains in critical condition.

A police source has said she suffered permanent brain damage and it isn’t certain she’d survive.

But Fuller, whose been charged with felony assault and is out on $100,000 bail, said he’s not responsible.

“They’re saying it was so powerful a hit,” he told WCBS. “I hit this girl one time.

“They’re saying I’m some big guy — I’m only 5-foot-7 . . . I weigh 150 pounds.

“I did not know, in no form or fashion, that she was physically hurt like this.”
