Now you see him, now you don’t.
An accused hate-crime slugger testified Wednesday that cops got the wrong guy — claiming he’s not the thug caught on police surveillance video and that the pet pooch in the clip isn’t his mutt.
The bizarre claim came as alleged nutjob Skiboky Storas took the stand in his own defense in Manhattan Supreme Court, where he’s on trial for allegedly carrying out a series of random attacks, including sucker-punching bombshell TikTok influencer Halley McGookin in 2024.
“That person has hair!” Storas, 42, said of a video taken near the scene of a Sept. 20, 2023 attack in Manhattan. “I haven’t had hair on my head since I was 18.”
The self-proclaimed rapper, who appeared for his trial with a shaved head, also maintained that the pup in the damning video footage isn’t his dog, named “Shirley Li’l Butt.”
“That wasn’t me and that wasn’t my dog,” he testified. “I have a black and white dog and that video clearly shows a white and grey dog, and he has white spots on his back. That’s not my dog.”
Manhattan prosecutors said Storas shouted racist and antisemitic remarks during the 2023 incident, including claims that he called one alleged victim “a stupid white motherf—er.”
Storas, who has run for political office in a series of sham campaigns in the past, is also accused of assaulting a Jewish couple, allegedly yelling at the pair, “Die, Jew! Die.”
He is representing himself at the trial, but has a legal advisor, attorney James McGee, who questioned him during his testimony on Wednesday.
Earlier in the trial, McGookin, whose @halleykate online account has 1.6 million followers, testified that she was on her way to record a podcast on March 25, 2024, when she was suddenly punched.
She was so rattled she actually apologized to her attacker “because he was screaming something at me, using a lot of profanity, saying it was my fault.”
Stora tried to grill her with bizarre questions about her allegedly being the target of a federal probe and a “TikTok trend going around that people were saying they were punched, sucker-punched too.”
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Josh Hanshaft quickly shot down the bizarre cross-examination.
In addition to the alleged attacks on McGookin and the Jewish couple, Storas is accused of elbowing a 37-year-old woman near West 17th Street and Eighth Avenue on Oct. 26, 2023.
He was arrested two days after the attack on McGookin.
