A blue-haired maniac with a long rap sheet went on a disgusting rampage in Manhattan, groping four women — including one who is blind — and lighting a fifth unsuspecting victim’s hair on fire, police said.
Edwin Page — a 28-year-old from Harlem with at least 10 prior arrests and more than a dozen mental health disturbance calls — was busted this week for the unhinged, broad-daylight attacks across Chelsea and Midtown South, authorities said.
The perv first horrifically targeted the 23-year-old blind woman on Friday morning at West 23rd Street near Seventh Avenue.
The victim was using a guide cane and waiting to enter a Flatiron service center around 8:10 a.m. when the creep came up to her and cruelly sneered, “Hey blind girl. I’m a detective. Can you see my badge? Of course not, you’re blind,” according to police.
He then grabbed her buttocks before walking off and returning a short time later, asking the victim, “Do you have the time?,” cops said.
Page allegedly continued his groping spree on Monday — randomly attacking four more women in just about two hours, according to police.
He first strolled up to a 27-year-old woman using her cellphone on West 32nd Street near Sixth Avenue around 12:10 p.m., authorities said.
“Do you want to know what it feels like to be my girlfriend?” the sicko allegedly asked, before pressing his genitals into her leg.
Just 15 minutes later, Page allegedly set his sights on a 37-year-old woman pushing a stroller near the same intersection, slapping her buttocks before running off, cops said.
He returned to Sixth Avenue and West 32nd Street around 12:50 p.m. and terrifyingly lit a woman’s hair on fire, cops said.
The woman was walking up the avenue when she smelled smoke and realized her locks were burning, according to police.
She managed to pat down her own hair and extinguish the flames before she was seriously hurt, cops said.
Page allegedly resurfaced around 2:15 p.m., barging into the QQ Nails and Spa on Sixth Avenue near West 26th Street, where he stormed up to a 29-year-old woman getting her nails done and grabbed her buttocks, cops said.
He was arrested Monday evening and faces a slew of charges — including forcible touching, sexual abuse and criminal possession of a controlled substance — in connection to the lewd acts, police said.
Most of Page’s prior busts are for domestic assaults in Queens, law enforcement sources said.
But his most recent arrest prior to this week was Feb. 26 in Midtown, where he was charged with third-degree assault. The details of that case weren’t immediately clear.
He also has at least 18 previous incidents as an “emotionally disturbed person,” according to the sources.
Page — who was awaiting arraignment Wednesday — was hauled to Manhattan Criminal Court sporting electric-blue-dyed hair and a black T-shirt depicting Al Pacino as Tony Montana in the 1983 film “Scarface” over a long-sleeved shirt the same color as his locks.
He replied “Good” when a photographer asked him how he’s doing, as an officer escorted him into the building.
Cops charged Page with assault causing physical injury for allegedly lighting the woman’s hair on fire.
He also faces two counts of first-degree sexual abuse — one as a hate crime — as well as first-degree stalking, two counts of first-degree aggravated harassment and second-degree criminal impersonation in connection to that crime, police said.
