A woman foiled an armed robbery in Park Slope by asking a bank teller to call 911, sources said.
Tyshawn Warren and Kevin White allegedly approached the 29-year-old victim at around 3:30 p.m., Monday near the corner of Smith and Warren streets, asking if she was married.
The woman tried to ignore them and walk away, but one of the men allegedly grabbed her, and the other put a weapon to her back, threatening to shoot if she didn’t withdraw $500 from a nearby Chase Bank branch.
“If you try anything, I will shoot the whole bank,” Warren allegedly snarled.
The woman walked inside and pleaded with a teller to dial 911, sources said.
Cops responded and used the victim’s description to cuff the two men, who allegedly were found in possession of marijuana, cocaine and a loaded .380 semiautomatic gun.
Both men were charged with criminal possession of a weapon, attempted robbery, menacing, attempted petit larceny and harassment.
Warren was also charged with possession of a controlled substance, while White was charged with pot possession.

A man was busted on charges of cocaine and marijuana possession after cops, executing a search warrant in Mariners Harbor, allegedly found more than dozen plastic bags in his butt.
Jerome Role, 23, was cuffed at around 8:25 p.m., Tuesday, after cops found drugs inside a home on Richmond Terrace and several more bags stashed where the sun doesn’t shine, according to court papers.
He was charged with nine counts of possessing a controlled substance and one count of pot possession, court records say.
Role also racked up a charge of obstructing governmental administration, when, according to police, he refused to go downstairs inside the 120 Precinct station house, kicking his legs and trying to prevent cops from putting him in a cell.

A man trying to get a woman’s attention got plenty from police because of his kooky ploy, sources said.
Elliot Brathwaite, 22, didn’t want to be ignored by a female friend who refused to return his calls, so he called her mother at 5:45 a.m., Sunday, pretending to be a Staten Island cop, and claimed in a voicemail that the young woman was wanted for a crime, court papers say.
“Call me and we can work something out,” he allegedly stated in the recorded message.
The target of Brathwaite’s affections recognized the caller’s voice and reported the incident to police, records show.
Brathwaite allegedly confessed to calling the woman’s mother and sister “because when I called their daughter directly, she never answered.”
“After I called her mom and sister saying something ridiculous, her daughter would without a doubt call me shortly after,” he allegedly confessed.
Brathwaite was charged with criminal impersonation, and now has a date — with a judge.

A 3-year-old found wandering the streets of Port Richmond was scooped up by city workers and safely returned to her parents, authorities said.
The little girl was walking in her PJs near the intersection of Port Richmond and Orange avenues at around 10 a.m. yesterday, when a witness flagged down sanitation workers, officials said.
The workers, Richard Nichilo and Doug Berinelli, wrapped the child in a jacket and put her in their truck, called 911 and knocked on doors in the neighborhood to find the girl’s home, officials said.
They eventually found the child’s parents, who had been looking for her and who went to the hospital to meet her, police said.
“The little girl was healthy,” Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said.
“There was no injury or damage to the girl.”
