The 16-year-old thug who allegedly shot two people at the Bryant Park ice rink over a jacket acted like a foul-mouthed wiseguy Monday by spewing dirty quips as cops hauled him to court in handcuffs.
“F–k all you ni–as — GGL!” Corey Dunton yelled with a sick grin to reporters outside the Midtown South Precinct. He was apparently using a slang abbreviation for “giggle, giggle, LOL.”
Dunton also made light of Police Commissioner Ray Kelly’s assertion that he was trying to steal a $680 Marmot “Biggie” jacket when he fired shots that left another teen paralyzed.
“It wasn’t over a jacket — it was over your mother, ni–a!” he yelled as he was taken to court.
The Midtown attack began Saturday night when Dunton allegedly told 20-year-old Javier Contreras to hand over his coat.
Dunton allegedly fired a shot that wounded Contreras, as well as a stray bullet that struck 14-year-old skater Adonis Mera in the back, possibly leaving him paralyzed from the waist down.
Cops “have witnesses who are able to identify the shooter,” Kelly said, and a source said Dunton was picked out of two lineups.
Dunton was charged with two counts of attempted murder and assault Monday night at Manhattan Criminal Court, where his father defended him.
“He’s only a kid,” Corey Dunton Sr. said before asking, “Did you see him with weapon?”
Cops have not yet recovered the gun, which a police source previously identified as a .22-caliber pistol, Kelly said.
In a bid to find the weapon, cops returned to the Midtown park on Monday with metal detectors, and they also interviewed a friend who was with Dunton during his arrest in The Bronx Sunday morning.
Meanwhile, Adonis’ older brother said his family is praying that the teen — an avid hoopster who stands 5-foot-10 and is called “Buzzer-Beater” — will recover from his injury.
“We don’t know anything new about his condition now,” said Jorge Arias, 29.
But the high-school freshman is “being strong for us,” Arias said. “He’s telling us he’s going to be all right. Telling us not to worry. He’s a brave kid.”
Arias said that his brother is a member of three basketball teams and that “his team always counts on him when it’s a close game.”
A video posted in April on Adonis’ Facebook page shows the skinny kid nailing a series of 3-point shots during a practice session in a school gymnasium.
One friend who visited him in Bellevue Hospital on Monday — where two cops were guarding his room — said the victim’s basketball coach “was giving Adonis a lot of support and advice.
“He kept saying that things will get better and to keep moving forward,” said the pal, who added that “it hurts to see him laid up in bed like this.”
Also Monday, police sources said the coat model that sparked the shooting has been supplanted by expensive designer belts on the “must steal” list of city crooks looking to fill their closets.
