The fashion model who’s apparent mental breakdown led him to romp nude in Times Square while ranting about Donald Trump was released without bail at his Manhattan court arraignment Wednesday — but he’ll remain in a psych ward for the time being.

Krit McClean, 21, was not in court, but appeared via video link from the psych ward of Bellevue Hospital. Defense lawyer Dan Ollen told Judge Felicia Mennin that his client would be transferred from the hospital’s prison ward to its regular psych unit.

“The defendant is dealing with significant mental health issues,” said ADA Danielle Turcotte who consented to McClean’s release as long as he continues psychiatric treatment.

The Columbia University student, who has graced the covers of GQ and Harper’s Bazaar, stopped traffic and tourists with his hour-long peep show last Thursday as he pranced on the bleachers above the TKTS booth.

The model, who has sashayed down the runways of Versace and Dolce & Gabbana fashion shows, spat at cops who tried to talk him down.

“Get Donald Trump here, I want to speak to him!” McClean shouted at the growing crowd of spectators, the complaint states. He also professed his love for fashion photographers.

The bizarre show ended when McClean jumped, narrowly missing a giant airbag deployed by cops.

“He’s a really good man who had a really bad day and, unfortunately,it happened in the middle of Times Square when the cameras were rolling,” Ollen said.
