Homeless man accused of throwing rock through NYPD precinct under arrest

A homeless man allegedly caught on video hurling stones through the windows of the Midtown South Precinct this week has been arrested, the NYPD said.

The 28-second video clip obtained by The Post shows a vile vandal, clad in a black coat, brown hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans throwing rocks at his target five times.

The right-handed roughneck then pauses before chucking another object through the window for good measure.

The stone-toting suspect got no satisfaction for his evil efforts and was arrested around 9:30 a.m. Saturday, police said.

Nickoy Watson, 26, was charged with criminal mischief and reckless endangerment in the incident which unfolded around 7:40 a.m. Thursday at the stationhouse on West 35th Street near Ninth Avenue, police said.

The suspect then ran south on 35th Street toward Eighth Avenue, authorities said.

“This shouldn’t surprise anyone,” a Manhattan cop told The Post following the incident.
