An NYPD detective was arrested when he flashed his gun during a fight at an Outback Steakhouse in Brooklyn, officials said Monday.

The two had been drinking and appeared to know one another, cops said.
During the exchange, Crooms allegedly lifted up his shirt to reveal his weapon, police said.
Crooms was arrested and charged with menacing and disorderly conduct, officials said.
He was issued a desk-appearance ticket for the incident and released, according to court records.
