When the woman questioned Sterling on her behavior, police said Sterling hit the gas, running the woman over.
The woman went flying over the top of the car. She suffered a fractured skull, facial cuts and needed surgery.
Sterling pleaded not guilty to second-degree assault. The judge set bond at $100,000.
Authorities said Sterling was charged earlier this year with choking a different woman, obstructing her breathing.
