A Sudanese diplomat sexually assaulted a 23-year-old woman at Bar None, a bar located in New York East Village. But ... he was not arrested.

The diplomat, who has been identified by the New York Daily News as 36-year-old Hassan Salih, groped the woman on Sunday while at the bar, caressing her breasts and buttocks.

The woman initially informed security personnel at the bar of the situation, who in turn called the police.



According to the local site, Salih attempted to run away from the police upon being detained.

However, police officers chased him down and drove him to a nearby police station.



During the interrogations, Salih informed the officers that he is a diplomat and supported his claim with evidence.

Due to diplomatic immunity laws, officials had to let him go.
