The deranged homeless man accused of stabbing two workers at the Museum of Modern Art has been ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation as part of an unrelated arson case in Philadelphia.

Gary Cabana, 60, was collared in the City of Brotherly Love on March 15 after allegedly torching a local Best Western hotel room — while on the run from the NYPD for the caught-on-video MoMA attack.

On Tuesday, court records show that Cabana went before Philadelphia Judge Sharon Williams-Losier and was ordered to undergo the psych exam — as authorities in the Big Apple seek to extradite him to New York.

Cabana is accused of flying into a violent rage at MoMA on March 12 after being told his membership to the museum had been revoked due to a couple of past outbursts.

He is seen on surveillance footage jumping over the counter and repeatedly stabbing two 24-year-old workers before fleeing.

While on the lam, the homeless culture nut posted bizarre rants on social media — and even exchanged messages on Instagram with The Post.
