He’s gone from hummus to heroin.
Three years after he was acquitted in a fatal falafel kerfuffle at a popular Midtown halal stand, a Brooklyn man has been busted again for misdemeanor heroin possession.
“I don’t want to talk about it, to be honest with you,” Ziad Tayeh, 30, said, sadly, as he was released on his own recognizance from Manhattan Criminal Court tonight.
Cops caught Tayeh in a car at Robert F. Wagner Place and South Street last night — “holding a stack of glassiness containing heroin,” according to he complaint against him.
Cops recovered 15 glassines, they said.
Tayeh earned the name “Gyro-maniac” three years ago for fatally stabbing another customer in the chest after a line-cutting argument at Halal Chicken and Gyro at 53rd and Sixth.
A jury acquitted him of murder after he argued self defense.
