Muniz, who was off-duty at the time of the incident, went to the woman's home and punched her in the face and neck, police said.
The woman told officers the dispute stemmed over her boyfriend, who had been "romantically involved with both (she) and Muniz," police said.
"A full administrative and criminal investigation is underway. (Muniz) will be placed on administrative leave pending the investigation. The case will be submitted to the District Attorney’s Office for review," SAPD officials said.
