He is his own biggest fan.

The handcuffed suspect who escaped from an NYPD cruiser bragged in court Wednesday about his caught-on-video antics.

“Do you know who I am?” Raymond Johnson, 28, asked a Post photographer while awaiting arraignment for allegedly shooting Joshua Wiley in the abdomen in front of a crowded playground near West End Avenue and West 64th Street, according to a criminal complaint.

Johnson, smiling widely, then winked and asked, “You didn’t see my video!?”

Moments later, prosecutors told a Manhattan Criminal Court judge that Johnson targeted Wiley because the man had “shared words” with his girlfriend.

“Earlier that day, the victim had shared words with the defendant’s girlfriend,” Assistant DA Jinah Roe said. “The shooting occurred at 4 p.m., when the park was crowded with children.”

She added, “After being shot, the victim fought the defendant, took the gun from him and struck him with it, causing injuries to the defendant’s head.”

Most of the incident was captured on high-quality video, the prosecutor said.

“The defendant is an extreme flight risk,” Roe argued. “While in custody for the shooting and while handcuffed, the defendant crawled out of a window of a police vehicle.”

In dramatic cellphone footage, Johnson is shown flopping onto the pavement, then springing to his feet at the intersection of West 63rd Street and West End Avenue. He didn’t make it far, running just a few feet before cops tackled him. He allegedly repeatedly kicked one officer in the head as he tried to flee, the complaint states.

He was arraigned on two cases, one for first-degree attempted assault, first-degree escape and other charges related to the shooting. In the second, he is charged with criminal sale of a controlled substance for allegedly selling ecstasy to an undercover officer Oct. 2. He did not enter a plea.

Judge Anne Swern set bail at $200,000 cash for the shooting case and $25,000 cash for the ecstasy case.

Johnson has a lengthy rap sheet, according to court records. He has a 2013 criminal contempt conviction for violating an order of protection, going to his ex-girlfriend’s home and strangling her. He has two felony narcotics convictions and one first-degree robbery conviction.

He’s due back in court Oct. 25.
