There goes the neigh-borhood!
An NYPD cop on horseback chased down a convicted killer parolee who swiped a purse on the Upper West Side in a wild pursuit fit for a western flick, dramatic footage shows.
Felicia Field, 44 — who robbed and killed a cab driver with her boyfriend in April 2000 — snatched the bag from a woman on 72nd Street and Columbus Avenue at around 11 a.m. Wednesday then tried to hoof it away, police said.
The fearless mounted cop and his studly sidekick, Kelly, quickly galloped across a busy street and down a crowded sidewalk to nab her and recover the purse, according to a tweet from the NYPD.
“Whether on foot or on hooves, our officers are always ready,” the NYPD declared.
The John Wayne-worthy body cam footage shows the officer shouting “Police, stop! Stop running!” as he chases after the crook down on horseback.
Field allegedly then darts into traffic before the hot-to-trot horse, a 23-year-old standardbred bay, catches up to her. She’s then shown being cuffed by cops.
Field was charged with grand larceny and false impersonation for allegedly lying about her name. She has 14 prior arrests on her record.
She served 25 years behind bars for the 2000 killing until she was paroled last year.
Despite her serious record, she was released on her own recognizance after an arraignment Thursday.
