An accused criminal was on the lam Tuesday after escaping from cops — by wriggling out of his handcuffs in Brooklyn, the NYPD said.
Joseph King, 21, pulled the disappearing act as he was being brought to Brooklyn Central Booking around 5:45 p.m. Monday on grand larceny and assault charges connected to a domestic incident, police said.
