An unhinged woman was caught on video Tuesday harassing locals with insults and slurs at Tompkins Square Park — just two days after another crazed vagrant randomly attacked strangers at the East Village spot.

The woman was spotted berating parkgoers and harassing diners at a nearby outdoor restaurant, forcing some to scamper away and leaving others to just shake their heads.

“She was nuts,” said one restaurant patron from Chelsea who asked to be identified only as Jakob.

“She was saying creepy-ass s–t. She said, ‘You guys are lizards,’” he recalled. “She was calling me a f—-t. It was super intrusive. She’s obviously unwell.”

The disturbing scene took place just two days after another deranged woman — known to cops only as “Pop Star” — was taken away in handcuffs after going on a more violent rampage at the park.

She was seen on video yanking one stranger’s hair and dragging her on the ground — and also lunged at a mother holding a baby, flipped over a table outside a nearby eatery and spit at a passerby before cops showed up at around 4 p.m. and took her into custody.

But the disturbed vagrant was spotted back in the neighborhood on Monday, said Sergio Aguilar, who manages the Yuca Bar and Restaurant at the corner of Avenue A and East 7th Street.

Aguilar said he saw the woman — who had flipped a table at the eatery on Sunday — walking past the restaurant twice at around 1 p.m. Monday before going back into the park.

Sources said she was taken to Bellevue Hospital for psychiatric evaluation but was released by Monday without criminal charges.

“She’s been around here for the past month,” Aguilar said of Pop Star. “She is a dangerous woman. I saw her walk past yesterday and I thought, ‘Oh no. What is she going to do now?’

“She’s aggressive,” Aguilar said. “Her mind is gone. You can’t reason with her or calm her down. It’s dangerous for society. People like that should be getting treatment.”

It is unclear if police were also notified of the deranged woman in the park on Tuesday.

That woman was captured sitting on a park bench yelling slurs, calling locals “sissy,” “half-breed” and “bitch.”

She then strolled up Avenue A, screaming the whole way, and stopped to dance on East 11th Street between Avenue A and First Avenue, chewing out strangers as she went.

“Look at that bitch leaving,” she shouted. “I hate your guts… Gay mother—–r.”

“East Village is crazy,” said Jose Martins, who manages the nearby Westville East restaurant. “We get people harassing our customers three to five times a week.”

The city has grappled with an ongoing mental health crisis and has occasionally been inundated with complaints about unruly vagrants harassing New Yorkers.

In January, The Post reported on a homeless man named Howard — nicknamed “Cheese” by cops — who terrorized Gramercy Park locals for months.

Mayor Eric Adams said in November that the city would involuntarily commit New Yorkers with chronic or untreated mental health problems. He said the city had a “moral obligation” to get them help.
