Two thieves ransacked a Lower Manhattan bodega — even throwing a computer monitor at a worker, wild new footage shows.
The duo barged into the shop on John Street near Broadway around 11:25 p.m. on Feb. 16 — joined by a woman who stayed close to the door, according to cops and a clip released late Wednesday.
The pair demanded merchandise from a 28-year-old male worker and refused to pay, cops said.
They then started pushing and tossing items on the counter, including two display cases holding scratch-offs, the footage shows.
