Hey Buddy — Leave The Heavy Lifting To Spiderman, Superman Or Even That Character In The Ben Affleck Vehicle

Am I reading this correctly? The second time in a week this guy plays good samaritan and this time he creams the thief with his car? Too weird:

A serial purse-snatcher was critically injured last night when he was struck by a passing car moments after he stole a woman’s pocketbook on a Chelsea street, authorities said.

The thief, who was not identified, was riding a bike when he was struck at 17th Street and 11th Avenue after he had dashed off with the woman’s handbag.

The driver, Peter Welsh, said he heard a woman scream, “He’s got my purse! Someone help!”

That’s when Welsh barreled into the thief as he tried to get off his bike.

“I tried to get in front of him and intercept him,” Welsh said. “I didn’t mean to hit him.”

The thief, wanted for a string of purse-snatchings in Manhattan, was taken to St. Vincents Hospital in critical condition.

The incident comes a week after Welsh said he chased down a carjacker who crashed into four cars and hit a pedestrian June 14 near a Brooklyn movie set where Welsh was working.

It turns out that this is for real:

He goes by Peter Parker but says he’s no hero.

The good Samaritan movie-set worker who ran down a purse snatcher in Chelsea said he just likes to help.

“I don’t feel like a hero, but I felt like ‘I’ve got to help out,'” said Peter “Parker” Welsh, 33, who carries the moniker of the web-slinging “Spider-Man” character. The real-life Peter used his van to knock the thief off his bike late Friday.

And it’s not the first time this month alone that Welsh has done a good deed. On June 14, he chased down a fleeing carjacker who ran off after crashing into four vehicles at a Brooklyn movie set where Welsh was working. He brought the vehicular villain down and into the arms of law enforcement.

He’s known as Peter Parker because he co-runs Location Parking Security Services, which handles parking for movie shoots around town.

Get it? “Parker” . . . as in parking . . . cars . . . get it?
