\n Patrick Bobilin calls himself a \u201cfighter\u201d \u2014 and the NYPD agrees.<\/p>\n

The 37-year-old candidate for State Assembly in Manhattan was collard by cops after allegedly smashing the windshield of a driver June 19 during a Black Lives Matter protest on the Upper East Side.<\/p>\n

The NYPD identified Bobilin, wearing a black Colin Kaepernick T-shirt, as one of two men in a video pounding on the SUV of a 23-year-old motorist. In the footage, it app<\/a>ears Bobilin strikes the windshield with a dark object.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo individuals banged on his vehicle while he was stopped at the intersection, smashed the front windshield window and caused damage to the hood,\u201d said police spokeswoman Annette Shelton.<\/p>\n

Bobilin and his pal were both charged with criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and harassment, Shelton said.<\/p>\n

He declined to get into specifics of how be broke the windshield, noting to The Post that the case was \u201cstill active.\u201d But he claimed his actions were defensive after the driver attempted to \u201cram\u201d protesters.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw people at risk and I saw something like what happened in Charlottesville,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy body drew me to throw myself on top of that car to make sure it did not harm one of my neighbors. When someone is weaponizing their motor vehicle against someone\u2019s body, there is zero justification for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The driver was not charged.<\/p>\n

Video of the incident posted to social media<\/a> shows protesters choking traffic while marching down Lexington Avenue.<\/p>\n

The crowd began pummeling a dark SUV after the driver honked at them and began to proceed through an intersection with a green light.<\/p>\n

\u201cCivil disobedience and protests often require marshaling and stopping of cars because they do disrupt traffic,\u201d said an unapologetic Bobilin, who has worn the arrest as a badge of honor.<\/p>\n

His campaign announcement video features a potential future constituent, Cybil Victor, praising his actions and noting that \u201che saved our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bobilin, a Democratic Socialist, had been marching with protesters as part of a wave of demonstrations against alleged police violence after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

A longtime Upper East Side community activist and former vice president of the East River Democratic Club, Bobilin said he helped organize protests in the Big Apple, including ones at Gracie Mansion.<\/p>\n

Last October Bobilin nearly derailed a Democratic county committee meeting at Denny Farrell Riverbank State Park after he accused a state committeeman of \u201charassment and stalking.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt gives me no pleasure to talk about this,\u201d Bobilin said as he came in to a chorus of boos from the audience of nearly 1,000 of the party faithful. \u201cYou are booing victims,\u201d he shrieked.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
