He’s a 16-year-old iThug — pulling off a terrifying, weeks-long crime spree that targeted Apple-gadget owners in lower Manhattan, authorites said.

Pistol-whipping and punching his way through at least four robberies since February, Zenquell Rodriguez was busted Sunday, authorities said. “We’re glad that we got the little menace. He needed to be taken off the streets,” a police source told The Post yesterday.

The teen terror hit close to home — he lives on Avenue D in Alphabet City — and threatened his victims at gunpoint, in one case putting his weapon up against the head of a man, officials said. His crime wave netted two iPods and two iPhones, officials said.
