Manhattan

A shoplifter got more than he bargained for when he was arrested for trying to swipe cigarettes with a razor in an Alphabet City bodega, cops said yesterday.

Albert Felicia, 41, of Brooklyn, asked a 48-year-old clerk for "loose cigarettes" in the deli on Avenue D and East Seventh Street at 8:50 p.m. on Christmas Day, cops said.

When the worker said he had none, Felicia jumped over the counter and took a razor out of his mouth, but pummeled the clerk instead of slashing him, cops said.

The clerk allegedly fought back, pushing Felicia out of the store and calling 911.

Police quickly arrived and arrested Felicia, who was charged with menacing, weapon possession and attempted robbery.
