A drunken Jersey City councilman was arrested for urinating on a crowd of concertgoers from the balcony of a Washington nightclub, police and club sources said Saturday.
Councilman Steven Lipski was caught relieving himself onto several revelers at the 9:30 Club during a concert by a Grateful Dead [Dark Star Orchestra] tribute band Friday night, club sources said.
"He was very drunk," the source said, noting that it wasn\'t the first time Lipski had caused a ruckus at the popular concert venue.
"We\'ve dealt with this man before," the source added. "He\'s never peed on anybody, but he gets really belligerent and drunk."
Lipski, 44, was hauled out of the club about 9:50 p.m. after staffers spotted him in the act on the concert hall\'s second-floor balcony and called the cops.
The crass councilman, who is serving his second term in office since getting elected in 2001, was charged with simple assault, police said.
Attempts to reach Lipski were unsuccessful Saturday night. His aide, Irina Zaki, said the councilman was in Washington Friday night, but she had no knowledge of his arrest.
The lurid incident marks the second time in recent years that a Jersey City pol was caught with his pants down.
Photos showing Jerramiah Healy, still a councilman at the time, naked and passed out on his front stoop were widely circulated in 2004 days before he was elected mayor.

TOKYO, Japan (CNN) -- Puzzled zookeepers in northern Japan have discovered the reason why their attempts to mate two polar bears kept failing: Both are female.
A 4-year-old polar bear sent to impregnate a female polar bear at a zoo in Kushiro was found to be female as well.
The municipal zoo in the city of Kushiro in Hokkaido brought in a polar bear cub three years ago. They named it Tsuyoshi, after the popular baseball outfielder Tsuyoshi Shinjo, and waited until it reached reproductive age.
In June, the zoo introduced Tsuyoshi to its resident bear, an 11-year-old female named Kurumi, and waited for sparks to fly.
But much to the disappointment of zookeepers, Tsuyoshi never made any amorous advances toward Kurumi.
Earlier this month, zookeepers put Tsuyoshi under anesthesia to get to the bottom of the matter. That\'s when they made their discovery: Tsuyoshi is a female.
Still, the Kushiro zoo plans to keep Tsuyoshi because he -- or rather, she -- has become immensely popular with visitors.
"I have rather mixed feelings, given the need for breeding, but Tsuyoshi is an idol for Kushiro," Yoshio Yamaguchi, head of the Kushiro zoo, told Japan\'s Kyodo news agency.
Tsuyoshi will even keep her name.
"We will not be changing it to \'Tsuyoko\' since it is loved by citizens (by the current name)," Yamaguchi said.
"Ko" is a common suffix for a Japanese female name.
Meanwhile, Tsuyoshi\'s "brother," who was adopted by another zoo, has also turned out to be female, Kyodo reported

Law enforcement hard at work to keep citizens safe
It must have seemed like a scene from a movie for Montgomery Township, N.J. police last week.
It all started when an alarm inside a local bank went off. Officers say they thought they saw at least one person inside. It was hard to see inside, as the blinds were drawn, according to the Associated Press.
What followed was a standoff, with police evacuating the three nearby apartment buildings, and using bullhorns and the telephone to try to make contact with the suspects ? but no one ever responded to their repeated atempts at communication.
It was only after a SWAT team stormed the building it was discovered the possible intruder was actually a cardboard figure.
While the officers will probably laugh along with the rest of the world over the incident, it shouldn?t diminish the danger and work police do every day.
There very well could have been a desperate person or group of people inside the bank ? someone who attempted a robbery, got caught and was now even more of a threat to citizens and law enforcement.
Every day police work in the front lines to keep people and their property safe. They see people at their worst, either while committing a crime or victims who are dealing with a crime.
Most days, their work is nothing to laugh about. So, let?s take a moment to laugh, then remember to support our law enforcement officials each and every day of the week.
