Last time we read about Joel Krupnik, his front-yard Christmas display was freaking out the neighbors<\/a>. Today we learn that he is now accused of smearing Chihuahua feces in the hair and on the clothes of its 13-year-old owner<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Manhattan real-estate dealer who terrified neighborhood kids at Christmas with a grotesque display of a bloody Santa yesterday cursed a 13-year-old girl and smeared dog feces in her hair after her Chihuahua pooped on his sidewalk, cops said.<\/p>\n

Joel Krupnik, 57, allegedly went ballistic when he spotted 4-pound Bambi relieving himself in front of Krupnik’s $3 million brownstone at 318 E. 18th St. as the girl took her pet for a walk.<\/p>\n

A furious Krupnik picked up what Bambi left behind and trailed the unsuspecting girl — whose family asked that her name not be printed — to the vestibule of her nearby apartment building, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The hulking, 6-foot-2, 250-pound man cursed the terrified teen, then smeared the dog feces into her hair, according to cops and her mother.<\/p>\n

Then he smeared it across her Catholic-school uniform jacket, according to the girl’s outraged mom.<\/p>\n

“She was scared and she was traumatized,” the mom said.<\/p>\n

“This man followed her home and followed her into her building and started cursing at her.<\/p>\n

“She’s always picking it up, but it just so happened that Bambi did it in front of his house, but there was a tree there and my daughter didn’t see him go.”<\/p>\n

After the attack, the girl ran to her apartment and called her mom — a single parent and buyer in the fashion industry — who rushed home.<\/p>\n

The mother went to Krupnik’s house to confront him. When his wife refused to open the door, the mom went to cops.<\/p>\n

“I was upset and angry, but he wouldn’t come to the door,” she said.<\/p>\n

“She’s just a baby. She’s scared and afraid. He’s the creepiest person in the neighborhood. He’s not friendly at all. He’s scary looking.”<\/p>\n

Cops busted Krupnik for criminal mischief and menacing, and he was expected to spend the night in custody.<\/p>\n

The mom said when cops told Krupnik the girl was only 13, he said dismissively that he thought she was older.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
