A HATE-SPEWING ZERO was busted for felling an innocent man.

The 42-year-old lout spotted a man walking along 14th Street and 4th Avenue back at around 10:15 a.m. 

“Are you Asian,” the accused, also 42, allegedly squealed. 

The man answered, “Yes.”

His provocateur then threw a haymaker to the left side of the innocent’s face. 

The dazed man tried to run away from the maniac; and the puncher continued to follow. 

He then allegedly asked, “Do you want more?”

Police officers surrounded the man and brought him into custody. 

He’s now defending himself against hate crime assault. 

It wasn’t the suspect’s first rumble, either. 

Since late September the suspect has racked up cases throughout Manhattan for a variety of crimes including assault, harassment, grand larceny, and criminal possession of stolen property.

HE WANTED IN. Badly. 

But once denied, he lost it. 

Just after 8:15 p.m. on Nov. 19 the 42-year-old hellraiser white-knuckling a machete was allegedly demanding entry into a home located on Perry Avenue and East 204th Street. 

A mother and two children, ages 15 and 11, were terrified when the suspect allegedly sounded off threats. “I will kill you if you don’t open the door,” he allegedly spouted. 

When he was still being left in the cold — the suspect made his own way into the family’s home. 

The kids and their mother heard a “loud shattering sound” and then as they ran to the front of the home they discovered the suspect had left the glass door view “broken and shattered”, the complaint states.

Both children were left sobbing uncontrollably.

After leaving the door in shambles and invoking fear into the kids and their mom — authorities cuffed the man and hit him with acting in a manner injurious to a child, weapons possession, menacing, criminal mischief, and harassment.

A GREEN THUMB was caught fibbing a yarn about getting carjacked and tuned up by three goons. 

But scrutinizing cops determined the story was almost pure fugazi. 

Yes, the 34-year-old victim might have been kidnapped by a trio of bandits. But they were allegedly intent on plundering his bootleg bud. 

Over 100 pounds of the dicey doobage. 

The victim had first told authorities he was behind the wheel of a 2014 Toyota Sienna when he was bumrushed by the three ski-masked crooks back at around 12:45 a.m. on Nov. 8 outside Bay Ridge Parkway and 11th Avenue. 

He yodeled to responding officers that he had been dragged out of the driver’s seat at gunpoint and fleeced of his wallet and phone before his attackers tied him up and dumped him in the back and took off in his Toyota. 

But the pesky 34-year-old man was able to wrest free and escape out from his own commandeered minivan. He then allegedly ran to his home and dialed Johnny Law. 

Cops didn’t have to look far to find his alleged assailants. 

Just blocks away the crooks — at least two of the three (if indeed there were three) — ages 29 and 36 — both hailing from Manhattan — were trying to elude capture a few blocks away on Bay Ridge Parkway and 11th Avenue after clipping car and taking out an overpass fencing on Dyker Place and teetered on the edge of the Gowanus Expressway onramp. The ski masks were found along with 153 pounds of vacuum-sealed packages of weed in the wrecked car. 

Back at his 84th Street home, officers met the distressed 911 caller inside the bedroom. He had a bludgeoned face and his hands were bound behind his back.   

Skeptical of the abducted man’s wild rendition — the cops returned to the home at around 8 p.m. that night and secured a warrant and with city sheriff’s searched the home and found in the basement and discovered acres worth of green — 490 pounds more of pre-packaged herb.

The dingbat deviants were formally hit with a bevy of charges including kidnapping, robbery, burglary, grand larceny, and assault.  

And the victim was hauled away also after being nailed for criminal possession of cannabis.

HE HAD QUITE the come-to-Jesus. 

A 26-year-old man was gobsmacked when he had to explain why a Taurus 9mm semi-automatic pistol was found inside of a red bag he claims he innocently dropped off and went to retrieve. 

It was about 5 a.m. on Nov. 24, when the accused was walking his pooch Rhino down Waltham Street. 

He allegedly dropped off a red Target shopping bag at the home nooked by Barnes Avenue. 

Then he walked on with his dog and returned to retrieve. 

That’s where police officers met the suspect and discovered the loaded heat along with a sweater, socks, and cell phone charging cables, according to the criminal complaint. 

“I don’t have a gun on me officer,” he allegedly explained. “I can show you my pockets; I don’t have a gun on me.”

His attempt to convince the cops clearly wasn’t working. 

After a pregnant pause, the suspect asked: “Why are you coming at me like I have a gun on me.

“I swear to God I have no gun on me.”

The suspect, who was convicted in three years ago for (can you guess?) possession of a firearm, is forbidden from packing. 

Pressed about what might be recorded on surveillance footage, the suspect tried to suggest yes, he had a red bag that he carried. And yes he was walking with Rhino and “dropped my bag off there” and he said he was “coming back for it.”

Why would he leave the Target bag? 

He claims it was to leave it with “one of his bros” and that he had set off to spend some quality time with a galpal. 

“I dropped it off because I was going to link with my shorty,” he allegedly told the cops. 

The bag, the sweater, socks, the phone charger — all his, he assured. While supposedly lingering around for “one to two hours” to recover the bag — he claims the pistol mysteriously appeared like an immaculate conception. 

“I don’t know why the gun was in my bag,” the confused suspect told cops. 

He was taken into custody (and hopefully Rhino was walked home) to be brought up on weapons possession and for being caught as a felon with a loaded firearm. 

SHE DIDN’T STAND a chance. 

A woman was menaced by a strapped punk who kept insulting her after she suffered a tag-teamed beatdown.

It was after 1 p.m. on July 17 when the suspect first approached the woman and showed a pistol and snapped, “Bitch, you are going to have to go get somebody.”

Not an hour later, the accused made good on his wayward threat to find some backup muscle. Because he sure did.  

He stepped to her with two of his chums, ages 47 and 29 — one of them wielding a machete — and they wailed on her. The younger cutthroat sliced up her face and defending hands as the older heavy punched her several times. 

It’s unclear if cops were summoned. 

The suspected shitstarter allegedly confronted the woman again on the morning of Sept. 18 in front of a residential building on Park Hill Avenue. 

He reportedly aimed his pistol at the woman and told her, “Back the f– up, bitch!”

It wasn’t until weeks later on Oct. 1, that the accused and both of his cronies were busted and formally charged for the assault and lethal force flexing. 

The main suspect already had a conviction on his record three years prior for weapons possession. 

He was charged with criminal possession of a weapon, assault (with a weapon), menacing with a weapon, and harassment. His unflinching goons were also facing assault with intent to cause physical injury and harassment.

A LONELY NIGHT under the Manhattan’s side of the Brooklyn Bridge.

THE SPUDS WERE frying.

A melee inside of a McDonald’s (purportedly a Brooklyn franchise) was captured on video as onlookers appeared to get a kick out of watching customers challenge a staffer repurposing a hot French fry basket like a cudgel.
