A dimwitted thief shouted from his apartment window that he knocked off a Bushwick bodega while calling cops “idiots” for grabbing the wrong guy, authorities said yesterday.
Raymond Gramby, 37, allegedly yelled, “It was me you idiots, you have the wrong guy!” as police led an innocent man to the deli on Bushwick Avenue where the theft occurred at 1:45 a.m. Monday.
Gramby had earlier swiped two bottles of Olde English malt liquor and tried to walk out of the store, but was stopped by the owner, sources said.
He pulled a knife and fled. Gramby was followed by cops all the way to his nearby seventh-floor apartment, but when a different man answered the door, officers accidentally grabbed him instead.
As he was led him down the street, Gramby opened his window and began his rant. He was arrested and charged with robbery, weapon possession and menacing.
