The blade-wielding creep caught on camera stalking a group of musicians in Times Square last month has been arrested again — this time for allegedly bashing in his mom’s apartment door, The Post has learned.
Deqon Massiah — who was out on supervised release following the harrowing July 12 incident at the Crossroads of the World — showed up at his mother’s at NYCHA’s WSUR (Brownstones) Houses on the Upper West Side on Sunday, according to law enforcement sources.
His mom told cops she didn’t answer his knocking because she was afraid her son, who suffers from mental illnesses, would hurt her, the sources said.
Massiah, 22, allegedly grew enraged and started to kick the door, breaking it and causing $60 in damage, according to sources.
He was arrested in the lobby of the building on Amsterdam Avenue near West 88th Street and slapped with misdemeanor charges of criminal mischief as well as criminal possession of knives or dangerous instruments.
During his arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday, he was ordered held on $2,000 cash bail, $10,000 insurance company bond or $15,000 partially secured surety bond.
The judge also held him without bail in connection to a fugitive matter related to his parole status in Georgia.
He is on probation for a sex offender case in the Peach State, sources said.
Massiah faces charges of menacing, harassment and criminal possession of a weapon in the Times Square case.
Photographer Richard Moore, who captured the unsettling scene, said he saw the disturbed man flashing a knife at tourists and inexplicably screaming while standing on a granite bench on Broadway between West 43rd and 44th streets around 10 a.m. that day.
The blade-wielding man then jumped off the bench and began trailing the performers, Moore told The Post at the time.
“I noticed he had this knife in one hand and he got close enough to one of the musicians to put his other hand on the musician’s shoulder,” Moore said.
The shutterbug first thought the worst, saying to himself, “This isn’t gonna be good.”
But the erratic man then suddenly backed off and returned to his perch on the bench.
Moore said he called 911 after witnessing the creepy encounter — and waited about 12 minutes until cops arrived.
“Police got him from behind … I don’t know if they grabbed the knife or he dropped it,” he said.
“It was dealt with very peacefully and quickly,” Moore added. “They took him down safely for him and others.”
During his arraignment in that case, prosecutors recommended that Massiah be released on the charges, which are not eligible for bail.
The judge agreed, but said that the “highest level of monitoring is appropriate.”
Following the incident on Sunday, Massiah’s mom told cops that her son didn’t live with her, but that she sometimes had him over to feed him because he was on her food stamps, sources said.
